Bad news for Tom: harvard says lefties less successful than righties

So this explains my problems! And it's Harvard wo we know it must be true.

A new study by a Harvard University economist says lefties generally make less money than righties, and they may be worse off in other areas of life, too.

“Lefties exhibit economically and statistically significant human capital deficits relative to righties, even conditional on infant health and family background,” Goodman writes. “Lefties work in more manually intensive occupations than do righties, further suggesting that their primary labor market disadvantage is cognitive rather than physical.”

Uh-oh. And it gets worse.

“Lefties have more emotional and behavioral problems, have more learning disabilities such as dyslexia, complete less schooling, and work in occupations requiring less cognitive skill,” Goodman said.

But leftie pitchers are in demand! And four of last seven Presidents have been left-handed (but maybe that proves the point?).

    I got email blowback (in a nice way) from a leftist lefty who was a bit insulted. Meanwhile I need to re-evaluate my life!

  3. Yes, you do need to re-evaluate and reorganize your life. First of all, you must to get into more manually intensive work. I’ve heard window cleaning ain’t so bad.
