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