Share of U.S. workers holding multiple jobs is rising

Just a nit pick: The limit on total employer and employee contributions to a 401(k) is $58,000 in 2021, which includes the $19,500 elective deferral, employer matches, and post-tax contributions. If the "401(k) shit show" was eliminated, I'd hope it would be replaced with similar contribution limits.

To your point about backdoor Roth shenanigans, they aren't really shenanigans, they are legit and IRS-sanctioned. Shenanigans kind of implies you're doing something morally questionable.

Fair point. Raising the total contribution limit from all sources to $58k + $6k, without differentiating between individual and other contributions would totally make sense. It's an implementation detail, but a significant one, to be sure. :-)
