To add additional context to compensation, its worth looking at the benifets side of the paystub. You may have a lower hourly rate but higher net if the benifets are employer provided. At westjet I have 18 deductions It's equal to a good car payment, and our benifets are sub par.

Certainly advocate more pay, not less, so consider that before pulling the trigger.

Of the two former Canadians I know who are now Americans and never looked back, one inside aviation and one elsewhere, both make substantially more than an equivalent Canadian. So I am guessing that comparing apples to apples, most Americans have a higher income than the equivalent Canadian. The working poor is another story, they would be better off in Canada.
I think that has a huge impact on employer revenues, Americans have more to spend, so that in turn has an impact on salaries.
It's not the same country, making it a bit harder to make comparisons.
