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