Recent analysis by The Economist reveals that the obesity pay gap is more severe than previously believed, affecting both men and women. Well-educated workers are particularly penalized for their weight, with their line of work also influencing the gap. Studies indicate that obese workers earn significantly less than their slimmer counterparts, with the costs of weight discrimination potentially being even greater than previously thought. Additionally, there is a concerning increase in heart attacks among young people, as reported by doctors.
