COVID-19 Pandemic Disproportionately Hurting Working Women

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate economic impact on women in ways that could have long-lasting effects on the U.S. economy, according to a report by the Committee for Economic Development of…

The report – the latest in a series of Solutions Briefs – cites two critical factors that have magnified COVID-19’s impact on women. First, the lower-wage and service-oriented jobs which have been hardest-hit by the pandemic predominantly employ women. Those sectors include personal service, healthcare support, restaurant servers, food preparation, and administrative support. At the depth of the employment crisis, women’s employment – in absolute numbers – fell to its lowest point since the 1990s and has since only recovered two-thirds of that loss.

Second, women are far more likely than men to bear the brunt of disruptions to childcare and education. Even before the pandemic, mothers of children under age 18 reported spending nearly twice as much time on childcare and housework as fathers.

«This will likely be the first recession in half a century to feature a larger increase in unemployment rates among women than men,» said CED President Lori Esposito Murray. «When talented workers are forced to the sidelines the entire economy is hurt. Employers also miss out on important competitive resources. This catastrophe is a first-order national concern, and business leaders and policymakers must act quickly to respond to it.»

The report includes 11 steps business leaders and policymakers should take to mitigate the economic impact on women, including:

Both increase the availability and normalize the use of remote work and flexible hours. This must include evaluating the performance of workers who use these options on an equal footing with those who do not.
Help women candidates advance into leadership roles, through sponsorship, mentoring, and training for midcareer female workers. Business leaders should ensure that their companies are adopting existing best practices including prioritizing, disclosing, and rewarding efforts to reach gender parity.
Lawmakers should create a childcare stabilization fund to ensure widespread access to safe, high-quality childcare, which is essential to speed the economic recovery.
Extend temporary paid leave programs, which are scheduled to expire at year’s end, until COVID-19 is no longer disrupting normal care arrangements.

Dominion Energy Files Construction and Operations Plan for Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Dominion Energy announced today the company has filed with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) the required Construction and Operations Plan (COP) to build the 2,640-megawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project, the largest planned offshore wind farm in the United States.

…

«This is an important step in the process toward bringing commercial-scale offshore wind to the Commonwealth and shows Dominion Energy is committed to delivering the clean, renewable and reliable energy our customers expect from us,» said Joshua Bennett, Dominion Energy’s vice president of offshore wind. «We look forward to working with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management as the CVOW commercial project moves through the permitting process.»

The COP includes information about the construction, operations and conceptual decommissioning plans for Dominion Energy’s proposed offshore wind farm to be installed within a 112,800-acre Commercial Lease Area located 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, which Dominion Energy obtained in 2013. Information about onshore and support facilities is included in the COP as well.

Through this filing, Dominion Energy shows, among other things, it designed and sited the CVOW commercial project in a manner that protects natural resources, the environment and human and wildlife health; uses the best available and safest technology; and does not unreasonably interfere with other uses of the Outer Continental Shelf, such as commercial and recreational fishing, commercial shipping lanes and military training maneuvers.

Data based on the results of the many surveys of the lease area – geophysical, geotechnical, biological, cultural, socioeconomic – are also included in the filing for BOEM’s review, which will take approximately two years to complete.

Offshore wind generation is a major component of Dominion Energy’s comprehensive clean energy strategy to meet standards mandated in the Virginia Clean Economy Act and to achieve the company’s net zero carbon dioxide and methane emissions commitment by 2050.

The company earlier this year completed the construction of CVOW’s first phase – the two turbine, 12-megawatt pilot project, which is located adjacent to the Commercial Lease Area. The two turbines are operational while the project undergoes BOEM’s technical review before officially entering service.

The company applied the valuable permitting, design and installation experience from the CVOW pilot project to its proposed commercial project. Pending approval by the State Corporation Commission, the CVOW commercial project is on track to commence construction in 2024, and upon completion in 2026, will provide enough renewable electricity to power up to 660,000 homes.

According to an economic impact study performed by Glen Allen-based Mangum Economics and commissioned and published by the Hampton Roads Alliance, it is estimated that the CVOW commercial project could create approximately 900 jobs and $143 million in economic impact annually during construction and 1,100 jobs and almost $210 million in economic impact annually during operation of the turbines.

Similarly, during construction, the 2.6-gigawatt CVOW commercial project is estimated to generate nearly $5 million per year in local and state tax revenue which increases to almost $11 million annually once the project is commissioned and operational.

About Dominion Energy
More than 7 million customers in 16 states energize their homes and businesses with electricity or natural gas from Dominion Energy (NYSE: D), headquartered in Richmond, Va. The company is committed to sustainable, reliable, affordable and safe energy and to achieving net zero carbon dioxide and methane emissions from its power generation and gas infrastructure operations by 2050.

Las ventas de viviendas de lujo en Texas alcanzan los $10 mil millones

AUSTIN, Texas, 18 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El número de viviendas vendidas en Texas por $1 millón o más entre noviembre de 2019 y octubre de 2020 tuvo un incremento de 23.5 %, con un total de 6,347 ventas, según la edición 2020 del Informe de Ventas de Viviendas de Lujo en Texas publicado hoy por Texas Realtors. El informe anual, que analizó las estadísticas inmobiliarias de las viviendas de lujo en las áreas metropolitanas de Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston y San Antonio, además indicó que las ventas totales de las propiedades de 1 millón de dólares o más alcanzaron los $10.3 mil millones, un aumento de 23.8 % con respecto al año anterior. Ese total constituyó el 8.8 % de todo el volumen de venta en dólar.

Marvin Jolly, presidente de Texas Realtors para 2021, señaló: «Uno de los motivos por los cuales hemos visto este sólido crecimiento en la venta de propiedades de lujo a pesar de la pandemia es que las tasas hipotecarias están muy bajas. Los compradores de propiedades de alta gama están notando que con su dinero pueden obtener más, especialmente si comparan diversos mercados inmobiliarios en Nueva York, California u otras áreas más costosas».

El valor promedio de las viviendas de lujo en Texas durante los primeros 10 meses de 2020 fue de $ 1,360,000, es decir 0.7 % menos que el año anterior. El valor promedio por pie cuadrado de las propiedades de lujo aumentó en un 3.5 %, a $361, cifra que es significativamente mayor al precio promedio de $139 por pie cuadrado de todas las propiedades residenciales de Texas.

Desde enero hasta octubre de 2020, las propiedades de lujo en Texas estuvieron en el mercado un promedio de 86 días, lo que muestra una disminución de 1 día en comparación con el mismo periodo en 2019. En promedio, las viviendas de lujo permanecen más tiempo en el mercado que las de menor costo.

Jolly concluyó: «Los compradores que están en busca de propiedades de $1 millón o más seguirán teniendo acceso a una buena selección en casi todas las áreas de Texas. No obstante, las características de las viviendas de lujo varían considerablemente de una propiedad a otra, desde lujosos condominios y propiedades frente al mar hasta viviendas con gran terreno de gran superficie y dependencias para invitados. Los agentes inmobiliarios han visto cada tipo de vivienda y pueden ayudar tanto a compradores como a vendedores a evaluar todas sus opciones con el fin de poder tomar la decisión inmobiliaria que más les convenga».
