Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Equestrian Studies field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Equestrian Studies majors need many skills, but most especially Instructing. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Equestrian Studies majors need more than the average amount of Operation and Control, Troubleshooting, and Science.

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 Equestrian 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 Operation and Control is very distinctive for majors, but the Instructing, Reading Comprehension, and Speaking are the three most important skills for people in the field.
