Frequently switching jobs can make it more difficult to save for retirement. If you don’t stay with the company for a specified number of years, you may not be able to take any or only a fraction of the 401(k) match with you when you leave.

Unless workers take the initiative to set up their own retirement accounts or other investments, they probably aren’t saving for retirement during that time.
