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.Almost 80 unemployed people are chasing every job vacancy in Hull, research has revealed.
Aberdeen was found to be the best city to find a job, with around one unemployment claimant per vacancy, said the job search website Adzuna. The North fared comparatively worse than the South, with Reading, Cambridge, London and Milton Keynes all showing fewer than two claimants per vacancy. Other areas with high ratios included Stoke-on-Trent (73), Sunderland (53) and the Wirral (40).
Engineering, computing, sales and marketing are showing the strongest demand for jobs nationally, the study showed.
