Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 An interesting article in Slate http://slate.msn.com/Economics/01-07- 09/Economics.asp> contains the following statement, " In a paper from last year, Professor Cawley found that an extra 65 pounds typically cost a white woman 7 percent of her wages. To put this another way, if you're a seriously overweight white woman, losing 65 pounds is likely to be as lucrative as an extra year of college or three extra years of work experience.
