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.The number of people registered as unemployed in Spain is bordering on five million as the country remains mired in recession.
Labour Ministry figures released today showed the registered jobless figure surged by 132,055 in January to 4.98 million.
Spain is struggling to emerge from its second recession in just over three years with its economy battered by the collapse of the once-key real estate sector.
The country's unemployment rate was at 26% at the end of the fourth quarter, up 1% from the previous three-month period.
