Companies are more likely to hire you if you look like the woman on the left - and the reason will shock you

A new study has revealed that thinner women, left, are more likely to land a job over their curvier counterparts.


Researchers carrying out the study , called Subtle increases in BMI within a healthy weight range still reduce women's employment chances in the service sector, created two images of a man and a woman and asked people who they were more likely to hire. The results revealed that people would be more likely to hire the thinner woman over the plumper faced one - but the same was not true for men. Whilst people would rather hire the trimmer lady - especially for customer-facing jobs - they didn't have the same opinion for the man.
