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