The best time to look for a new job, is while you currently have a job.
Advice.. Keep the smile on your face; work hard and productive..
Prepare for the worst.. sounds like the company isn't 100% sure on its future..

You need an attitude adjustment. Your constantly thinking of why you can't do something. I'm always thinking how I can do something. Which attitude better serves your interests in life? You've gone no where with your current attitude...i think its time for a change.
EDIT: since when is 50 miles a 3 hour commute? Are you on rollerblades?

My current salary puts me in a particularly awkward situation. I NEED a 6k raise this coming fall when my annual review is but I am not sure how the IT director is going to take it. I make so little right now that getting even 10% raises each year would put be back several years of what I need to be earning to live a decent life and being able to move out. I dug myself a pretty big hole accepting less than 30k for my current job.

The "I can't do it" attitude at work again. your never going to amount to anything thinking like that snap out of it.
Most people can't afford this as the cost of living increases. Just my fuel bills were around 1500$ higher last year than before. Electricity also went up a few hundreds, etc. etc etc.
Incidently, we are lucky if we get 2.5% here (unionized so its the same for everyone), but we are luckily making above average so I've no complaint as long as I get at least 2% to cover cost of living increases.

you've yet to name a single valid reason for anything in this thread. If you would like to contest this please list valid reasons in bullet point format so I can easily counter them.

Laborers can make 45-60 no prob. if you are accepting less you are lazy imo.

I think you should count yourself lucky that you still have a job!
I started with my current employer in 1999, after retiring from Union work.
I haven't had a raise since I started, (But I started at nearly double my Union pay + a lot better benefits package plus Expense account).
My second year here, our quarterly bonuses nearly matched my salary, somewhat less the following 2 years, Then they stopped altogether.
What happened is that we simply had no work for over a year, but after a couple of years now, we as a company are "Getting back on our feet". The bonuses have returned as of last quarter, and as long as we continue to turn a profit, they should get better.
Point being, their is really no such thing as an "Automatic" yearly raise. Sure, some companies used to do that in a better economy, but now, companies have to look at the bottom line before doling out more.
You may actually be worth more to them, but likely they simply can't afford to pay you more at this time.
