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