Prof Cawley purports to show that white women 65 lbs. overweight earn 7% less than those that are of average white.  This is equilvalent to 1 year of college or 2 years of continuous employment.  The relation did not hold for blacks or Asians. I would think that health factors may account for this 7%, though so many things affect one's income that 7% doesn't seem that much.   www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Oct01/weight.income.ssl.html
