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