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