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