No idea why this is on the Federal Reserve site, but this article talks about how weight and other appearance variables affect your work life... namely, how successful you are likely to be.

In general, the taller, thinner and better looking you are, the more money you are going to make, says the article.

Possible reasons for this bias include discrimination/favoritism, as well as the confidence that "being beutiful" brings, which can lead to success.
