Table 2. Subjects per experimental cell for 2009 emails.

This table shows the number of employees who received each version of the 401(k) email in 2009. The numbers are reported separately by projected contribution category. Projected contributions are the total before-tax plus Roth contributions to the 401(k) an employee would have ended up with in 2009 if the contribution rates effective on November 4, 2009 remained unchanged for the remainder of 2009.
