The 401(k) Plan Is Here to Stay
Workplace Prof Blog Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Aug. 14, 2009
Excerpt: For the first time in a year, more workers increased the amount of money they put into their 401(k) accounts during the second quarter than decreased their contributions, according to a report issued Wednesday by a retirement fund manager.... Two points. With the automatic enrollment features of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, this is not a surprise.... Second point. 401(k) are here and here to stay and that is not necessarily a good thing. Unlike defined benefit accounts which have the ability to weather recessionary storms because of their formulaic, actuarial nature, defined contribution plans, like 401(k)s, even when properly diversified, can be walloped in an economy like this one.
