This Popular 401(k) Perk May Be Back in 2021 -- and It Could Give You an Extra $100,000 for Retirement
According to Plan Sponsor Council of America, 11.5% of small companies suspended or reduced their employer match in 2020. That's just another bad milestone for a year that brought a pandemic, social unrest, and massive unemployment.
