In a
survey, Timothy Judge and Daniel Cable found :
Ø
A
thin and frail man gets lower salary as compared to a well-built man
Ø
On
an average, thin men earn $8000 / year less than well-built men
Ø
It
is exactly opposite in case of women. Well-built women get less salary than
thinner women
Ø
On
an average, thinner women earn $ 16,000 / year more than well-built women
According
to Judge / Cable, their findings support prevalent prejudice around the world
that
Ø
Women
should look delicate and thin
Ø
Men
should appear well-built and muscular
Irrespective
of who could have sponsored the survey, it has profound bearing on the efforts
of jobseekers,
Ø
Male
or Female
Ø
Unemployed
or Employed
Ø
Indian
or American
Prejudices
just cannot be wished away ! Salary differentials will continue.

for All = Peace on Earth
