I'm fairly new to the workforce, and I know things like these are exaggerated for comedic effect, but was it actually that much easier to get jobs in the past? Can any older professionals shed some light on this? When did job requirements and expectations start skyrocketing?

I was born in the 70's so I can't go this far back, but I can say that when I was looking for a job 3 years ago, it was easier then. And also 6 years prior to that was easier than 3 years ago. I've now been looking for 2 months and can barely get anyone to call me even though I'm highly qualified for every job I apply to.
