STUDY: ATTRACTIVE WORKERS MAKE $20K MORE A YEAR THAN “UNATTRACTIVE” COWORKERS

Do better-looking people get more advantages in life? Well, duh. But a new survey conducted by Standout CV, a resume writing company, seems to bear that out. Some of the findings:
– 81% of respondents feel “pretty privilege” exists at work. People who rated themselves as very attractive reported earning an average of $20,000 a year more than those who saw themselves as unattractive.
– 66% have seen someone treated unfairly or talked about negatively because of how they look.
– 64% admitting they feel pushed to change their natural features — like straightening their hair or wearing makeup — just to fit in at the office. (* Boy, not around here! Ug!!!)
– Nearly half (46%) of those who rate themselves as unattractive say their looks hurt their careers.
– When asked to rate their workplace attractiveness, the average person gives themselves a 7.7 out of 10.
– Men tend to rate themselves higher: 37% rate themselves a 9 or a perfect 10, compared to 27% of women.
– Just over half (55%) admit to downplaying their appearance to be taken more seriously at work.
* “Very attractive” people might earn more, but I bet they get more STDs.
* On the bright side, people who are really unattractive could get paid more out of pity.
* I don’t know if you know this, but I actually make my voice about 30 percent less attractive so listeners will take me seriously. When I’m off the air, I sound like Morgan Freeman.
* I know we’re not the most attractive people in the world, but they had to take the security camera out of the studio here because we kept cracking the lens.
* Life was more fair when we all had to wear masks.
