Lineworker

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Lineworker field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Lineworker majors need many skills, but most especially Monitoring. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Lineworker majors need more than the average amount of Installation, Repairing, and Equipment Maintenance.

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 Lineworker 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 Installation is very distinctive for majors, but the Monitoring, Active Listening, and Coordination are the three most important skills for people in the field.
