Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

CHRISTOPHER Huhne (Business, 21 November) says that the misunderstanding of probabilities applies in many other fields. Indeed it does.

If one in ten of the workforce is a graduate, and three in four of top managers are graduates, then, compared to a graduate, a non-graduate is competing with nine times as many peers for one-third the number of top jobs. His chances of becoming a top manager would therefore be improved twenty-sevenfold by a university degree.
