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