Surveys re: match, match suspension

[Guest caseyb]

Is anyone aware of recent spot surveys regarding trends in matching contribution formulas or suspensions of match, particularly among the Fortune 500?

We suspended our match in 2009 and I'm trying to make a case for reinstatement in 2010.

Thanks very much.

The PSCA released a survey quite recently: http://psca.org/Portals/0/pdf/research/pub...vey%20Final.pdf

Mercer did a global survey in May at http://www.mercer.com/ltutsurvey. Click on the executive summary and there are some statistics on global % of companies who have reduced retirement contributions. In the podcast discussing U.S. results, about a third through it, there are some U.S. statistics.

Watson Wyatt had a survey updated in October with similar types of statistics: http://www.watsonwyatt.com/news/press.asp?ID=22602
