Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Construction field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Construction majors need many skills, but most especially Coordination. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Construction majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, and Equipment Selection.

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 Coordination, Active Listening, and Critical Thinking are the three most important skills for people in the field.
