Skills

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Child Care Provider field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Child Care Provider majors need many skills, but most especially Monitoring. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Child Care Provider majors need more than the average amount of Service Orientation, Persuasion, and Social Perceptiveness.

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 Child Care Provider 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 Service Orientation is very distinctive for majors, but the Monitoring, Social Perceptiveness, and Service Orientation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
