anyone knows how the salary levels compare between the US and canada?

say for example: one earns USD $65,000 - $70,000 an year in the chicago area. what would be a comparable salary one should expect in canada, say toronto area in CAD $? where can i find any information on the salary comparisons across canada for various provinces, compared to the US salaries? please let me know on this, thanks.
 
There are no comparision between Canada and USA. USA still has vast more jobs than in Canada. So can't compare.
 
Here is from my experience of an offer that I received in Windsor....

The field is in automotive manufacturing with a small to medium sized manufacturing facility. The salary was in the same range as it was with a comparable Michigan automotive manufacturer. When I say, same range, I am talking about the $ amount. You will, of course have to consider the impact of the exchange rate. But, if you live in Canada, that exchange impact should be minimal as you will earn and spend in the same currency.

What I write here has nothing to do with the city to city comparison or the impact of the current job market or the number of jobs opportunities available in each of the countries or one's capability/luck to find a job.
 
yes, i am expecting replies in terms of the dollar amounts and the buying power of the dollar amount one earns in canada. more replies will be appreciated as well, thanks.
