predictive-analysisSkills

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the System, Networking, & LAN/WAN Management field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. System, Networking, & LAN/WAN Management majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that System, Networking, & LAN/WAN Management majors need more than the average amount of Operation Monitoring, Troubleshooting, Equipment Maintenance, Quality Control Analysis, Installation, Technology Design, Repairing, Programming, Operations Analysis, Equipment Selection, Systems Analysis, Complex Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Systems Evaluation, Reading Comprehension, Monitoring, Management of Personnel Resources, Judgment and Decision Making, Active Listening, Active Learning, Writing, Speaking, Negotiation, Time Management, Service Orientation, Persuasion, Coordination, Operation and Control, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Management of Financial Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Mathematics, Science, and Management of Material Resources.

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 System, Networking, & LAN/WAN Management 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 Operation Monitoring is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Active Listening, Speaking, Complex Problem Solving, Writing, Monitoring, Active Learning, Judgment and Decision Making, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Time Management, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Coordination, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Management of Personnel Resources, Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Persuasion, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Programming, Mathematics, Technology Design, Troubleshooting, Science, Management of Financial Resources, Equipment Selection, Management of Material Resources, Operation and Control, Equipment Maintenance, Repairing, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
