Top Dollars Come to Trim W aisted Top Dollars Come to Trim W aisted
A New York study by Robert Halt Personnel Agencies finds overweight executives pay a price in salary. Among 50,000 posts in finance and data processing, 10 percent of those earning 25 000 to 50 400 were more than 10 pounds overweight, while 35 percent in the 10 000 to 20 000 range exceeded that threshold. Bernard Willens notes a potential penalty of 100 dollars per pound and cites instances where overweight candidates were rejected or offered lower pay. Dr. Harry Johnson adds that about a third of executives examined yearly are overweight, influencing hiring decisions when competence is equal.
