GLP-1 Drugs Boost Unemployed Women’s Jobs | Detroit News

New research from Harvard reveals that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are helping unemployed women land jobs—boosting employment rates by 27 percentage points after 18 months. This challenges the “obesity penalty,” where heavier women face hiring discrimination, and also shows a 29-point rise in marriage and cohabitation.

The findings, drawn from a national survey, suggest weight loss via these medications may unlock economic and social opportunities for women previously sidelined by their size.
