Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Other Geological & Earth Sciences field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other Geological & Earth Sciences majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Other Geological & Earth Sciences majors need more than the average amount of Science, Programming, Operations Analysis, Mathematics, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Operation and Control, Complex Problem Solving, Writing, Quality Control Analysis, Judgment and Decision Making, Reading Comprehension, Speaking, Critical Thinking, Operation Monitoring, Learning Strategies, Active Listening, Time Management, Technology Design, Persuasion, Active Learning, Instructing, Management of Personnel Resources, Negotiation, Coordination, Monitoring, Management of Financial Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Troubleshooting, Service Orientation, Equipment Selection, Management of Material Resources, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Other Geological & Earth Sciences majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Science is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Writing, Speaking, Critical Thinking, Active Listening, Complex Problem Solving, Judgment and Decision Making, Science, Mathematics, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Active Learning, Time Management, Monitoring, Coordination, Social Perceptiveness, Learning Strategies, Persuasion, Instructing, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Management of Personnel Resources, Service Orientation, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Operation and Control, Management of Financial Resources, Management of Material Resources, Programming, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
