Overweight and Overpaid...Admission to Men Only

Life Inc. - Women's pay packets linked to their waistlines: "Separate studies of 11,253 Germans and 12,686 U.S. residents found that very thin women (who weigh 25 pounds less than the group's norm) earned an average $15,572 a year more than women of 'normal' weight, according to the study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology the findings of which are reported in The Wall Street Journal.
For overweight men, however, the trend is reversed. Overweight guys tend to earn more than their skinnier colleagues, the study found. Thin guys earned $8,437 less than men of average weight, and they were consistently rewarded for getting heavier. The highest pay point, on average, was reached for guys who weighed a strapping 207 pounds, the Journal said.
Maybe employers will start examining their assumptions about employees' weight? Fat chance."
