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