Facing off: Poverty or wealth?

Want to know whether some folks are rich or poor?  No need to peek at bank statements, simply read people’s faces.

It's hard to pinpoint, but there's something that gets “emotionally etched” into faces over time.  This involves a “chronic contraction of muscles,” especially around the eyes and mouth, that can lead to structural changes.

Such subtlety won’t necessarily show when smiling, and is most visible when accompanying a neutral-looking expression.  The latter is when the anxiety of poverty can undermine job prospects during face-to-face interviews.
