&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The latest update to an &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;ongoing series&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; of surveys by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Watson Wyatt&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; has &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;some pleasant news&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; for your still-employed friends at companies that have implimented cost-cutting changes to pay, benefits and other HR programs. Why should those gainfully working jerks get all the good news? Truth be told, this is stuff you can be excited about, too.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The survey found that 62 percent of companies that have made hiring freezes and 69 percent of those that have made salary freezes plan to eliminate them within the next 12 months. Also, 48 percent that have reduced their employer 401(k)/403(b) matches plan to reinstate them in the same timeframe.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Nice. So, assuming these companies aren&#39;t full of it, pretty soon your friends will stop complaining about pay cuts, and you&#39;ll stop complaining that nobody&#39;s hiring. Or, maybe you won&#39;t -- that sort of optimism might require &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;way too much effort&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;content1_titleLabel&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;content1_titleLabel&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Companies planning to reinstate some programs cut during the economic crisis&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; [Consultant-News]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;--Posted by Steven Schiff, Asst.
