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.British business is losing pounds 32m a year because workers are skipping lunch breaks, according to a report. Office workers are taking fewer and shorter lunchbreaks and most are eating while they work, which takes a toll on their well-being and performance at work.
The survey found more than 25 per cent of office-based workers take a break of 30 minutes or less and 20 per cent regularly skip lunch altogether. Four out of five regularly eat lunch at their desk. Of these, more than 70 per cent continue to work while they eat and almost 90 per cent still answer the phone. The research, commissioned by Boots the Chemists, claims that without lunch workers will feel less effective in the afternoon.
