And along with free coffee in the break room, the next thing your employer might axe is its contribution to your retirement savings plan.     About 84% of companies in the U.S. offered employees a 401(k) match as of last year according to Watson Wyatt, a benefits consulting firm.     But for cash strapped companies, reducing or eliminating the retirement contribution may be one way to cut back on costs during hard economic times.     Frontier Airlines already announced that it was suspending its matching contributions to 401(k) plans earlier this year. Struggling automakers General Motors and Ford, as well as Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group and real estate firm Cushman &amp;amp; Wakefield also announced they would no longer be offering employer matches.</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>'I couldn't just cross my arms and turn away'</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/04/17/heroes.ruiz/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/04/17/heroes.ruiz/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>El Paso native Maria Ruiz knows firsthand how different life can be a mere 30-minute drive south of her Texas home.</description><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Mad as hell - taxpayers lash out</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/21/news/economy/readers_on_bailout/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/21/news/economy/readers_on_bailout/index.htm</guid><description>"NO NO NO.

But here's what I was wondering: How are American business owners really coping with all this confusion? What does the economy truly look like?
