Across the TriNet population, the average employee contributes approximately 4% of their base salary to 401(k) plans. Though, the data in this month's SMBeat showed that the majority of people are not saving as much as they could be saving. About 51% of employees contribute nothing at all to employer sponsored retirement savings plans.
Below are the key findings of the May 2014 TriNet SMBeat Report. The data is sourced from TriNet's more than 9,000 clients and approximately 240,000 worksite employees in the U.S[1]:
