No. Not even a bachelor's degree will get you an employment visa in US anymore. Real US unemployment rate for new graduates, new entrants to US workforce, has exceeded 53% since 2009. Employers these days are not spending up to $25,000 to get H1-b visa unless the person holds at least a master's degree PLUS experience in STEM occupation.

Work visas are applied for by the employer not you so it depends on your degree and work experience whether or not you fit the criteria for the employer to offer you a job as the employer has to prove you are the person they need as they can't find an American qualified or skilled as much as you to do the same job only then will immigration grant that employer the work visa for you
