My nephew got his master's degree last spring--in a somewhat esoteric field, admittedly--and is still looking, and I do remember a long stretch of unemployment after I graduated many moons ago, and it did get a little scary when the end of the grace period before student loan payments started to loom, so you do have my sympathies.
From my position much later, I'd say that the important thing is to just work anywhere. You don't have to stay there forever. Any experience you can put on a resume is a plus, even unpaid experience, so see if you can volunteer somewhere if need be. That won't pay bills, but it will help you learn professional skills and will be a source for networking.
Good luck!
