对有些女性来说可能难以接受,但一项研究声称,个子较矮的女性比她们个子较高的女同事挣钱要少。身高在5英尺8英寸(约1.73米)或更高的女性年收入在3万英镑以上的可能性是个子较矮的女性的两倍,或者说年收入比个子较矮的女性多5000英镑。研究者调查了1461名年龄在16岁以上的女性,询问了她们的薪水和身高情况。与10%身高在5英尺8英寸以下的女性相比,被归入“高个”行列的五分之一的被调查者称她们的年收入在3万英镑或更高。
It may be difficult for some women to accept, but one study claims that women who are shorter are less likely to earn less than their taller female colleagues. Women who are 5 feet and 8 inches (about 1.73 meters) or more are more than twice as likely to earn less than 30,000 pounds a year as women who are shorter, or have an annual income of 5,000 pounds more than women who are shorter. Researchers surveyed 1,461 women aged 16 and older and asked about their salary and height. Compared with 10% of women who are 5 feet and 8 inches in height, one-fifth of those surveyed classified as “high” said that their annual income is 30,000 pounds or more.
