Tall People Seem to Make Better Money
by Australia does a case study on tall people and earnings.

Australia did a study recently on wage and who gets the highest marks for earnings.
The answer is–tall people. Especially with males. For every 4 inches add 3 percent (10 centimetres) earnings please. For females 2 percent per 10 centimetres.
They calculate every 2 inches above average height which is 5 feet 10 inches or 178 centimetres boosts a male’s earnings an extra year in the work force.
This holds true steady across the broad spectrum regarding age, race, family background, experience and education.
Australians also factored in the obesity card. This did not show less earned income.
Surprising for researchers because is the opposite in the United States and Germany in relation to higher body mass.
Well there you have it with no disrespect to the Australians who are overweight because they are the majority and do no face discrimination in the workplace.

I didn’t know Australia had any overweight people.The ones on TV are all tall and slim and on the beach.
I think that there have been several studies which show that attractive people make more money than ugly people.
