Heavier Women, Lighter Paychecks, Study Says

[shawn703]

Heavy-set women are more likely than their thinner colleagues to see their incomes fall, according to a new study conducted by New York University.

The study's authors found that an increase in a woman's body mass -- a measure of weight relative to height -- results in a decrease in her family income and a decline in her job prestige.

New York University sociologist Dalton Conley and NYU graduate student Rebecca Glauber, found that a 1 percent increase in a woman's body mass index pushed family income down by 0.6 percent.

The researchers also found that a woman's occupational prestige fell 0.4 percent for each 1 percent increase in body mass.
