HOW TO GET AHEAD IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

Australian research has discovered the same fact previously found in Britain and America -- that tall men earn more money than their shorter colleagues. The study of 7,000 workers found that two extra inches of height is equal to about $1000 per year in extra salary. The results were far less dramatic for women who need about four extra inches of height in order to grab a similar increase in pay. This latest study also found that obese people no longer earn less than their skinnier collegues (at least in Australia) but the researchers explained that this is probably simply because so many people are now overweight.
