    Your example is N=1

    But inflation is also around 3% so why would you expect a bigger raise?

      Are you seriously asking why someone would expect a bigger raise than just keeping up with inflation?

        I’m asking why one person’s employment history matters when we can analyze 100 million

          No you didn’t ask that, you asked why they would expect a bigger raise when inflation is around 3%. The answer is because they obviously think their job isn’t that terrible.
