Good looking people get better salaries

Being good-looking really does have its advantages, especially when it comes to a person’s pay packet, for a new survey has found that beautiful people earn more than their ‘ugly’ workmates.

And, the difference is not slight. In fact, attractive men and women earn as much as 15% more than the worst-looking person in their office. Economists James Andreoni and Ragan Petrie of London, who carried out the study wrote that ‘this happens even though beautiful people contribute just as much as other workers.’

“We find a beauty premium even though beautiful people contribute, on average, no more or less than others,” the Daily Mail quoted them, as stating. “Attractive people make more money than middle attractive people, who in turn make more money than unattractive people,” they added.

The researchers found that the reason why attractive people get paid more is because employers ‘expect’ them to behave in a particular way.
