4. Master Planning
According to labor Market Information for this field in 2017, there were more than 9,500 real estate jobs in the Inland Empire/Desert Region. This occupational group is not projecting to increase employment in the Inland Empire/Desert Region by 2022. Despite this lack of new job growth, employers in the combined region will still need to hire more than 4,200 workers over the next five years to backfill jobs that workers are permanently vacating (includes retirements). Appendix A, Table 1 shows the projected job growth, wages, education, training, and work experience required for each of the occupations in this group.
The entry-level wage for each of the occupations in the real estate occupational group is above the MIT Living Wage estimate of $12.30 per hour for a single adult living in the Inland Empire/Desert Region. These wages are also sufficient for an adult living in a household with one other working adult and one child ($14.50 per hour, per adult or $30,160 annually for each adult). Exhibit 4 displays wage information for this occupational group in the Inland Empire/Desert Region.
Based on this information, this Certificate of Achievement meets the College’s Missions statement:
Chaffey College improves lives within the diverse communities it serves through equal access to quality occupational, transfer, general education, and foundation program in a learning-centered environment where student success is highly values, supported, and assessed.
