I have no idea. You can try looking on a site such as Glassdoor, which sometimes has salary data.
However, you need to consider more than just base salary. For example, cost-of-living in California is much higher than in Iowa. So if you get a 10% higher salary, but have to pay twice as much for rent, that's a net loss.
Further, salary is just part of the compensation package. Holidays, vacation, retirement plans, pension, health care, hours, overtime expected/required/allowed, and many other factors can come into play. All of these need to be balanced against each other.
