I don't think we get paid as well as south of the border in general tho, as we get taxed quite heavily here (it goes to public health care and such). Our things also costs more to buy on average.

Actually in manufacturing (I can't speak to any other jobs) we are paid more than our US counterparts. Unfortunately a 37.5 work week is also almost unheard of. In most of the manufacturing the average work week is 44 and a 60 or even 70 hour week is not unheard of once you reach a supervisory or management position. Maybe the standard week is less in business office settings but I don't know anybody that works those hours. Hell, my wife works for a RV sales company and she works almost 50 hours a week for much of the year.
