Soon-to-be senior employee paid the least – Am I stuck?

I'm an admin assistant in a company with lots of other offices, an admin assistant in each. We have 5 out of 14 of us leaving/retiring. I'll be the most senior when the others leave, and I'm also at the next-to-lowest paid. My supervisor has been “trying” to boost my pay. To be fair, I did get 2 pay raises totaling about $3k this year. Now here's my problem: I used to be the one who volunteered for extra work (no more). I'm also expected to train the new admin assistants in other facilities (remotely). I'm also doing work for corporate, and I'm covering an empty position in another facility (remotely). I asked at a staff meeting who would be supporting the other admin assistants when the 3 most-senior employees retire. The answer was me. No other admin assistants volunteer for anything.

Now here's my problem: I used to be the one who volunteered for extra work (no more). I'm also expected to train the new admin assistants in other facilities (remotely).

I asked at a staff meeting who would be supporting the other admin assistants when the 3 most-senior employees retire. The answer was me. No other admin assistants volunteer for anything. Some even refuses to do parts of the job and get away with it.

I'm at the point where I don't feel valued or compensated appropriately. I'm happy to do the work and even train staff, but I should be compensated for it.

Not sure what to do at this point. I keep looking for other jobs, but there really aren't any in my area that pay comparable to this. Other than that, am I stuck?
