Title only mentions "high status" but they refer to "high status jobs". I only read the abstract so idk if this is mentioned in the study. But I'm gonna propose a big confounder: Hours.

I don't get it. Presumably you imply that high status jobs have longer hours, but how does that explain the attractiveness difference?

There may be some mechanism, but I don't want to speculate even more without access to the methods they use.

Care to explain a little more? I don't see how this would matter across attractiveness.
