Just in case you're looking for a new #inequality to get annoyed about, FT/Lex have this chart showing relative earnings by height...

Yup, people over 6' do earn more... and of course, we might want to equate height with class.

As we've always known the shorties have been prejudiced against!

(for those of you who prefer metric measurements, 70 inches [5'10"] = 178cm)

It would also be interesting to cross-reference socio-economic background and how health inequality in childhood affects eventual adult height.
