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