The latest stat shot from Watson Wyatt shows that employers — perhaps sensing a reheating economy — are ready to thaw out some of those frozen salaries and 401(k) matching contributions that have been on ice most of the last year.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, 33% of employers that froze salaries plan to show their love by unfreezing them within the next six months, up from 17% two months ago. Another 44% plan to roll back salary cuts in the next six months, compared with 30% two months ago — perhaps flowers AND candy this year, eh?
