If you are earning less than you think you should, it just might be certain physical traits you have.
According to a study published in the scientific journal BMJ, being a genetically overweight woman or a short man is correlated with a lower salary.
The researchers found that for every 2.5 inches of “genetically determined” extra height in men, men earned around $1,611 more per year and were 12 percent more likely to work in high-status jobs.
While for every 4.6-point increase in BMI for women, they earned an average of $4,200 less per year.
119,669 men and women were used for the study.
It’s really sad that the society places way too much importance on looks.
