Once again, here's a recent article from the American Animation Guild 839 Blog in regards to the WAGE SURVEY that was sent out and information gathered. It lets you know roughly what is happening within the industry in the states. These numbers are from union as well as non-union shops.

In comparison, the wages in Canada are generally lower but it all depends on the individual situation.
For example, as a board artist working at Disney TV during 2007, I was paid $1900.00 / week to finish a maximum 16 page script from start to finish in 5 weeks.
The Board job in Vancouver for a 20 page script to be completed in 5 weeks paid $ 1250.00 / week.
The pay for character animators going around town is in the range of $1000.00 to $2000.00 / week once again depending on the individual situation.

Below are the results of the Wage Survey in the United States:
 For comparison purposes, all salaries are computed based upon a forty-hour week.
