Do beautiful people make more money? Studies show that people who are normal or just plain looking earn 5-10 percent less than the more “beautiful” people. More attractive students get more attention from their teachers and patients that are better looking have a greater chance of recieving better treatment then normal looking patients.
There was a survey at London Guildhall University. 11,000 33-year-olds found that normal looking/ugly men earned 15 percent less than the more “attractive” ones. They also surveyed the women and found that the average, not so beautiful women earned 11 percent less then the more “beautiful” ones.
A study was recently done at the University of Florida and North Carolina about size. Apparently people who are tall get larger paychecks than shorter people. Every inch taller they got about 789 dollars more a year. It seems that most human will respond more favorably to beautiful people.
In 1981 and in 1988 economists did a study on women considered obese in terms of their body mass index. This study showed that the women who were obese earned about 17 percent less than the women with the normal body mass index. These statistics are shocking. Our world today is more concerned with beauty than actual ability to perform a job.
