For example, a man standing 6 feet tall could expect on average to earn $950 more a year than a man of average height, 5 foot 10, who does the exact same job. "The wage gain from an additional two inches is roughly equivalent to one year of on the job experience," says lead researcher Andrew Leigh, an economist at the Australian National University in Canberra.
