We had a 4 percent company match on our 401k but I suspect 50 to 75 percent of the workers I work with didn't match it at all. Of course no one matched it when the company dropped their contribution at the bottom of the bear market. The company regularly offers unpaid furloughs for its hourly workers(not the higher paid salary workers) that are usually accepted with enough enthusiasm that forced time off(only for hourly workers) rarely occurs. This also reduces the amount of vacation time those worker are getting. Maybe my experience is just out of ordinary but the young low skilled workers I work with are offering quite a bit of bang for the few bucks they receive.
