Relatively speaking this is true with nearly all degrees out there. Even Ph.D’s. It used to be a Ph.D was a shoe-in to become a professor at a college. Nowdays this isn’t even true anymore. It’s extremely competitive even at that level. An advertised professorship might have dozens of qualified applicants applying. Lots of unemployed Ph.Ds looking for work today when that was totally unheard of not that long ago.
There’s just more people out there with advanced degrees than in the past and it’s increasing. Not just in the US and the western world as we know it, but from so-called third world countries as well. It’s ultimately all about supply and demand.

Yes, sometimes it is. I think that the first answer has it right, in that it depends on how high the demand is for that particular Master’s Degree.

Well, yes, but it depends on what kind of Master’s they have…there are a glut of MBA’s for instance, and people are not retiring as early as they used to, so there are fewer opportunities for people to enter certain fields. IMO, it’s even harder to find a job with just a BA.

My Cousin in California has a Masters. He is currently a barkeeper. In his case, there were few job openings in his specialty and too many applicants for the job opening.

seriously , yes it is much harder , employers dont hold the same store by degrees they used to , they think that all exams are much easier compared to in the past
and when you see applicants spelling and writing , it seems that they have a point
all the best
