How are Sociology PhD's doing in the job market?

What is the difference between masters and phd jobs in sociology? What does the job market look like? Background: I am 35 years old; my undergraduate degree is in film; all the jobs that I have held have been in the food service industry; and I have student debt. I am about to graduate from the University of New Orleans with a masters in Sociology. (My thesis is on the dispensational premillennialist's reception of the movie Left Behind, but it is more generally a study of people who see their identity represented in a movie and what that interaction can exposed about that group's worldview; also I don't have a strong focus, except towards qualitative methods.) I have applied to various phd programs and so far the only response has been from the University of South Florida. Is it worth it for me to get a phd in sociology? I am unclear about the job prospects for someone in my position in academia and/or elsewhere). I have absolutely no idea what the difference in career outlooks for someone with a masters degree in sociology verses a phd in sociology.
