What’s less known is that overweight women have it even worse when it comes to earning a decent salary. A new study concludes that obese women end up taking home an average of $9,000 less per year than women who are comparable in every way except for their weight. As it turns out, the larger the number on the scale, the lower the number on the paycheck. While overweight women have lower salaries, compensation drops even further for obese women. The heaviest women tend to bring home $19,000 less annually. Jennifer Shinall, a professor at Vanderbilt Law School, conducted this research and was surprised to see just how little weight was required to make the difference in being stiffed on a paycheck. Being only 13 pounds overweight was enough to put women in that category of getting discriminated against financially. Ask dieters, and they’ll tell you those last ten pounds are often the hardest to shed – imagine that being the reason that you’re missing out on nearly $10,000 a year.
