SOUTHPAWS….This is weird. According to a new study, lefties apparently aren’t a besieged minority after all:
“Among the college-educated men in our sample, those who report being left-handed earn 13 percent more than those who report being right-handed,” said economist Christopher S. Ruebeck of Lafayette College.
….And lefties, stay in school: Those who finished all four years of college earned, on average, a whopping 21 percent more than similarly educated right-handed men. Curiously, the researchers found no wage differential among left- and right-handed women.
So does that mean that if I were left-handed I could ask for a 21% raise and get it? What a drag. What’s more, my sister, who is left handed, gets no benefit from this either. My whole family is on the short end of the stick on this one.
