Skills
Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Network & System Administration field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Network & System Administration majors need many skills, but most especially Critical Thinking. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Network & System Administration majors need more than the average amount of Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Equipment Selection.
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 Network & System Administration 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 Installation is very distinctive for majors, but the Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, and Complex Problem Solving are the three most important skills for people in the field.
