There is discrimination based on weight, height, age and over all attractiveness.  We’ve all seen it and we know it exist.  It is the exact same in the workplace.  It seems that if you do not fall under the “pretty category” you lose value

Sure, it might be human nature to always go for the pretty one but has it really gotten to the point that employers discriminate by attractiveness.  Could it be that the plus size clothing I wear has caused me job positions and maybe even a raise?  Although there should not be this type of bias the truth is that it is there.  In the article, http://jobs.aol.com/articles/ 2009/12/16/think-looks-dont- matter-think-again Laura Sinberg talks about a scientific study that actually proved this to be right:

·         white females that put on an additional 64 pounds, her wages drop 9%.

·         the obese see a wage loss of 12%.

·         a woman who is 5 feet 7 inches tall--well above the national female average of 5 feet, 3.5 inches--will make $5,250 more over the course of a year than a female co-worker standing 5 feet 2 inches.

Should anything really be "acceptable" or "unacceptable"? That is like saying it is totally unacceptable to like a house for anything other than its value. The qualities of a person don’t come attached with work ethics.  A person attaches ethics to physical qualities.  So, of course a person that has both attributes will be favored.  It shows how much control they have when they can keep their physical appearance on check as well as their intellect.
