Skills

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Precision Metal Working field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Precision Metal Working majors need many skills, but most especially Operation Monitoring. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Precision Metal Working majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, 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 Precision Metal Working 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 Monitoring, Operation and Control, and Quality Control Analysis are the three most important skills for people in the field.
