I wonder if there's any data on how many "post-first professional" master's degree holders in the US. Obviously it's a pretty small group.
In the sense that many get MBA's without a Bachelor's in business first.
Another thing to note is that a lot of professional master's degrees are "first degrees" in the subject as well - MSW, MBA, degrees in education...
Interestingly, Statistics Canada classifies the JD/LL.B. in the Bachelor's degree category, while having a separate category of "Degree in...

It seems that the Census Bureau and BLS suggest that they are. On the educational attainment question in the Census/ACS, Professional Degrees...
I agree that people shouldn't "up" the title of their degree on their resumes. But the argument about how it's unfair to the true holders of...

Separate names with a comma.
