Letter: Vain pursuit of full employment
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.Sir: I must tell David Hunt ('Clarke under attack for 'I told you so' attitude', 2 August) that our European Community partners are not asking how the UK has achieved a slight turnaround from the recession. They know well that much of it has been achieved by targeting pensioners, one-parent families and the poorly paid, and that the UK now has more socially excluded people than have most of our EC partners.
Yours faithfully,
