美国新近的一项研究显示，留唇须的男士更有可能获得高薪工作。这项研究是由美国金融服务提供商Quiken和美国八字胡学会在2009年1月到6月间，对三组各2000名留唇须、留络腮胡和不留胡子的男士进行随机调查后共同执行的。研究结果发现，留唇须的美国男士的平均收入比留络腮胡的男士要高出8.2％，与不留胡子的男士相比则高出4.3％。不过，该研究同时也发现，留唇须的美国男士花钱比其他人多11％，存的钱却要比其他人少3％。

Sporting a mustache may improve your chances of landing a higher paying job, according to a study commissioned by financial services provider Quicken and the American Mustache Institute.

Maybe American men should skip a day of shaving, especially when interviewing for a job.

Sporting a mustache may improve your chances of landing a higher paying job, according to a study commissioned by financial services provider Quicken and the American Mustache Institute which admittedly represents people opting¹ for facial hair.

The study found that mustached Americans earned 8.2 percent more on average than those with beards and 4.3 percent more than the clean shaven.

But the news is not all good. Mustached Americans also tended to spend 11 percent more and save 3 percent less than their collective counterparts, according to the study, titled "Saving and Spending Patterns of Mustached Americans."

"If efficiencies in financial management could be realized in the near-term … it's highly probable that over the next four to five years, we will see mustached Americans' savings² rate grow to surpass their bearded and shaven peers," research consultant³ Hans Menjou-Bartchen said in a statement.

The study was conducted during the first six months of 2009, examining a random⁴ sample of 2,000 mustached American men along with 2,000 bearded and 2,000 clean-shaven peers.
