In Canada we are still hurting for decent pay when it comes to SEO jobs. I just saw an ad on Monster.ca where a company was offering 28k-30k for advance SEO, online marketing and analytical skills. In my opinion even if a canidate had half the required skills they were asking for the minimum salary expectation would be $50k+ – I guess it is just a matter of time until business learn that they will not be able to fill their SEO/SEM positions on-the-cheap.
At the same time it looks like the US is well ahead of us in recognizing the value SEO can have on a business. Here are some US job details:
