'A Sobering Picture Of Stagnation’: CREW Finds Gender Wage Gap Is Much Worse Than 2015

The wage gap between men and women in commercial real estate has widened over the past five years, leaving women at all levels underpaid, underrepresented and increasingly unsatisfied with their careers in 2020, according to a new benchmark study report by Commercial Real Estate Women Network.

A survey of 2,930 industry professionals from across all CRE sectors found that for fixed base salaries, women make an average 10% less than men. For lucrative commissions and bonuses, women take home a whopping 56% less on average than their male counterparts.

When average fixed salaries, bonuses and commissions are combined, women make a total of 34% less than men in 2020, an increase of nearly 11 percentage points from 2015, CREW found.

CDC-Ordered Eviction Moratorium Meets Both Praise And Skepticism

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an order proclaiming a nationwide residential eviction moratorium, characterizing it as a matter of public health policy.

The CDC is an unlikely ally, but the agency said it considers eviction to be a public health issue during a pandemic because tenants with nowhere else to go might wind up in crowded housing or homeless shelters, where the coronavirus spreads rapidly. Keeping people in their homes is the best option to continue containment, the CDC said, and it could help the U.S. return to normal more quickly.

The move follows a separate executive order issued in early August by President Donald Trump that instructed the CDC to consider formulating anti-eviction measures. In August, the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, said that 30 million to 40 million people are "at risk of eviction" by the end of 2020. The National Low Income Housing Coalition predicts a similar range of 30 million to 40 million people at risk of eviction this year.

The CDC plan drew mixed reactions from the multifamily industry and housing activists. Some observers characterized it as a good first step, but only that.

Illegal Eviction Pressure Claims Mount As Tenants Scramble To Learn Their Rights
Illegal Eviction Pressure Claims Mount As Tenants Scramble To Learn Their Rights  

Patricia Mendoza, who rents half of a duplex in Imperial Beach, California, and who has been unemployed and largely without income since March, hasn't been evicted yet. But the fear of eviction looms large in her life, despite whatever local or state safeguards are in place. 

Until March, Mendoza said she had never missed paying her rent of $1,500 a month, even though her monthly income of about $2K always made it difficult to pay for everything else for her and her two daughters, aged 17 and 10. Even so, she said they managed to make ends meet.

"I will pay if I have the money, but I don't have any," Mendoza said. "If we lose this place, my daughters and I don't have anywhere to go."

A survey of 100 civil rights and legal aid attorneys nationwide by the National Housing Law Project in late June found that a vast majority, 91% of respondents, reported illegal evictions in their area. More than half of the respondents (53%) saw tenants being illegally locked out of their…
