We're at the tail end of the submission period for TAG's Wage Survey for '08.
What we mean by that is, there's only a couple of days left to get the form back to us for inclusion in the 2008 survey. Anyone who's been an active TAG member at any point in the last eighteen months is eligible to participate. A brief look back at the 2007 survey (here's the complete survey in PDF format):
Wage Survey Median Salaries - 2007 Directors (theatrical features) -- $2,951.38 Directors (television) -- $2,200 Timing Directors -- $1,900 Story artists (feature) -- $2,020 Production board artists (television) -- $1,900 Staff Story Editors -- $3,225 Staff Writers -- $2,300 These and all survey numbers are based on a forty-hour week, and should be adjusted from "on-call" deals (that is, the so-called "prepaid OT" weeks of fifty or fifty-six hours). Why is sending in this wage thing important? It helps level the playing field. The studios know what they're paying animators and everyone else. But members are often in the dark, which is a shame, since California Labor Code 232(a)(b) and (c) protects employees' rights to share salary info (have we mentioned this before?) So. If you've been an active member any time since mid-2006 and you haven't gotten the survey back to us, contact Jeff Massie by e-mail or phone him at (818) 766-7151 ext. 104 for a survey form, and be sure to get the survey back to us in the next few days (and phone if you're going to be later than say, Monday.) We'll post the results here as soon as they're compiled.

Are those wages per feature/episode produced, or per month?
I have the same question. Nowhere is it specified whether these rates are per day, per week, per month, per project. Can someone please specify?
If you read the rest of the article, I believe it answers your question:
"These and all survey numbers are based on a forty-hour week, and should be adjusted from "on-call" deals (that is, the so-called "prepaid OT" weeks of fifty or fifty-six hours)."
