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