From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Michael Page International issued its second profit warning in under a year yesterday as a jobs bloodbath in almost all of its markets and industries hit business.
The white-collar recruiter admitted that its offices across the world – apart from in Asia – saw third-quarter revenues shrink compared with a year ago. In the UK, which makes up almost a quarter of Page's business, profit was down 10.9 per cent in the three months to October to £29.5m. Profit in Europe, Middle East and Africa – about 40 per cent of the group – fell 16 per cent to £49m.
All sectors declined. However, profits in finance and accounting were down 17 per cent, thanks to the ongoing banking crisis.
