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