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