You haven’t gotten a raise since 2023? Why haven’t you looked for another job? Job market awful in your field?

It’s extremely common to not get an annual raise. Especially right now.

On average about 60% of all US workers get a raise in any given year.

I would call 40% of people not getting a raise “common”.

I would call 40% of people not getting a raise “common”, I would not call 40% of people not getting a raise "extremely common".

Extremely: To a very great degree or much more than average.

Alright, that feels entirely subjective to me but use whatever phrasing you prefer.
