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