MS holders have a better salary - enough to make up for the tuition spent & salary lost by going to grad school instead of working. Take this for example (for EEs) –

10th percentile:
BS $60,000
MS $72,650

25th percentile:
BS $76,090
MS $90,850

Median:
BS $97,610
MS $111,500

75th percentile:
BS $120,310
MS $138,000

90th percentile:
BS $150,000
MS $167,000
