Industry Averages

[Guest Jeff Weber]

Does anyone know where is can get 401k averages by industry? I'd like to help my clients improve their plans by showing them a comparison of their plan to it's industry averages. Specifically, I'd like industry averages on participantion, deferral, and matching rates. Any ideas?
