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