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