    Skills

    Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machinist Technology field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machinist Technology majors need many skills, but most especially Programming. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machinist Technology majors need more than the average amount of Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, 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 Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machinist Technology 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 Equipment Maintenance is very distinctive for majors, but the Programming, Operations Monitoring, and Monitoring are the three most important skills for people in the field.
