Ugly people earn less, research suggests
Ugly people earn less than better-looking employees, according to new research.
Daniel Hamermesh from the University Of Texas has studied pay levels in the US, Canada and China.
He says ugly people earn up to 10% less than those with average looks.
He says: "The research makes it very clear that people who are better-looking earn somewhat more than your average person and people who are worse looking earn less."
He's giving a lecture called The Economics Of Beauty at Melbourne University.
The best looking 30% of people can expect to earn up to 5% more than people in the middle 60%.
Those in the bottom 10%, he describes as "pretty ugly people", earn up to 10% less than the middle 60%.
"We are programmed almost from birth to think about looks. If it's not your customers, it's the fellow employees who are revolted by working with an incredibly ugly person," he told The Age.
Is this true?!!!?
