Leading article: Job cheer
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.So, graduates of 2005 have cause to cheer. A new survey shows an increase in salaries and vacancies for high-flying careers. The big question is whether that buoyancy continues throughout the marketplace, into jobs in small and medium-sized firms. There is no doubt that the survey is good news for savvy young people who can make themselves employable. It shows that it pays to go to university. But will it persuade more pupils to stay on at school and do A-levels, something that Bahram Bekhradnia says is essential if we are to achieve 50 per cent in higher education?
