Published reports and economic theory suggest that workers' earnings may be affected by their degree of obesity. The purpose of this research was to estimate the size of such an effect. The earnings-obesity hypothesis was tested with data from the NLS of Older Men. Results suggest that, for members of that sample, there is no earnings depressant effect due to obesity.
