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