Slender women earn more than those who are overweight . This is deduced from a study carried out at the University of Florida (USA) and published in the Journal of Applied Psychology that reveals that very thin women earn an average of $ 3,981 more per year than those of average weight . Those who are overweight earn $ 1,848 less than the latter, which represents a salary difference between the thinnest and the most obese of close to $ 6,000 per year.
The relationship between weight and salary in men is different. Those who earn the most are men with a normal average weight. Both being thin and being overweight imply charging less at the end of the month, although in this case being very thin is a "penalty" up to 28 times greater than being obese, according to the study.
