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