	abstract = {A substantial literature has established that obesity is negatively associated with wages, particularly among females. \&nbsp;However, prior research has found limited evidence for the factors hypothesized to underlie the obesity wage penalty. \&nbsp;We add to the literature using data from IT workers at a U.S. Fortune 500 firm that provides us with direct measures of employee income and BMI, and health measures that are unavailable in national-level datasets. \&nbsp;Our estimates indicate that the wage-obesity penalty among females only occurs among obese mothers, and is not attributable to differences in health or human capital that may be caused by having children.},
