Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Only a half of unemployed people who find work will still be in a job nine months later, and a fifth of the workforce either loses or starts a job during the course of a year. Despite this amount of churning in the jobs market, nearly one in five households in the UK has nobody in work. The extent of turnover in jobs, revealed in research published yesterday, lends support to the view that it is better for the unemployed to take any job because it will often lead to a better one.
In an article in the Employment Policy Institute's latest Employment Audit, researchers Paul Gregg and Jonathan Wadsworth from the London School of Economics track the movements into and out of work by individuals in 1994/95. They found that most starter jobs were temporary, with only one in eight surviving intact for nine months.
