    Skills

    Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Transportation field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Transportation majors need many skills, but most especially Active Listening. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Transportation majors need more than the average amount of N/A.

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 N/A is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Monitoring, and Social Perceptiveness are the three most important skills for people in the field.
