How do Canadian TV salaries compare to TV salaries in the United States?

Canadian TV salaries are generally lower than TV salaries in the United States due to the lack of major stars in Canadian television. However, Canadian TV salaries are still high-paying compared to many other jobs, as of 2015.

In the United States, actors such as Johnny Galecki, Kelly Cuoco and Jim Parsons make over $300 thousand per episode, as their presence is a major draw to their show, "The Big Bang Theory." Canadian TV salaries are much lower, with median salaries ranging from $60 to $100 thousand per year. Some fields also pay more than others, with sports and news employees earning more than lifestyle and children's programming employees.
