Good news for workers

There's been precious little good news for American workers over the past two years, but that may be slowly starting to change. Here's a good sign that things may be turning the corner a bit for some American companies.

Last April, we noted that at least 200 companies had either reduced or suspended matching contributions to their 401k plans. The good news is that the Wall Street Journal reported last week that roughly half the companies that suspended matching contributions will reinstate them in 2010. Every little bit helps.
