Unfortunately is true, fat people use to earn lees than average.

Aproximately around 15 % less salaries if you are obese, no matter your work daily, or your education. Size condition our lives this way as well.

We must not put up with it. Therefore we suggest to help ouselves, share jobs and comunicate in fat friendly webs to be sure fat people apply for them.

Studies stat that the decrease reach 24 % to very large people, instead of a small 6 % if overweight is not too much.

Enterprise stat that fat people are usually unhealth, and rebound in their work, absenteeism, in addition of image questions for the company. All are excuses, it is necessary to point it out, fat discrimination is the cause, the reason to treat us badly, like a second poor workers group.

A research made by John Cowley pointed out that white women with 50 lbs overweight eran 7 % less in average.

Guildhall University in London made an study with 11.000 persons, 33 YO, and found that obese collegue earn the above mentioned 15 % than non obese colleagues.

On the other hand, it would be great to create companies where be fat would be a point to be hired, not as a way of skinny discriminaiton but a help to give an opportunity for us, whom have less chances to get a job.

The webmaster and co-founder have many ideas about, and is looking for many to put them in practice.
