Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
A YEAR ago Liz Legg, 26, was a pub licensee earning a a modest salary. Today she is a web-page designer, working with Internet technology and constantly adapting to the demands of her client companies.
Like those identified in the Henley Centre report, she views her IT skills as a marketable, transferable asset that give her a greater sense of control over her life than if she were striving after the "myth" of job security.
Now, she leads a "spider life", flipping from formal attire and a restrained approach for traditional businesses and a more casual, active role with fast-moving clients in the media world.
Her social network is made up of friends from school, university and work. "With certain friends and at home I am quite quiet but my wild, outgoing side comes out when I go clubbing.
"I have no idea who my neighbours are but when I go to see my family in Letchworth it's like touching base with reality. I'm just Liz again."
