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