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.Bankers looking for a career boost are facing up to a clear choice: go East. With City job losses soaring finance workers are looking to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore for new opportunities.
A survey from the recruitment house Astbury Marsden shows that 73 per cent of City staff expect most new banking jobs to be created in South-east Asia, with Shanghai seeing the biggest jump in new positions.
Only 11 per cent of bankers and hedge fund workers think London will create the most new banking jobs over the next 12 months – down from 22 per cent a year ago. Mark Cameron, chief operating officer at Astbury, said: "The centre of gravity continues to move towards China."
