Retirement benefits in the 1990s: 1998 survey report

Article Abstract:

Employers posted the lowest expenditure for retirement benefits in 1998, 5.25% of payroll as against 7.06% in 1997. This figure was the lowest so far in KPMG's yearly survey. The 401(k) plan, which features an equivalent contribution from the employer, is participated in by only 65% of employees. Studies show that by 2013 the income derived from social security taxes will no longer be sufficient to cover the benefits being paid out to members. Retirement benefits provided by employees become increasingly important because it lessens the burden of the federal government.
