Skill is a measure of a worker s expertise, specialization, wages, and supervisory capacity. Skilled worker s are generally more trained, higher paid, and have more responsibilities than unskilled workers. ref Citation last Cowan first Ruth Schwartz title A Social History of American Technology publisher Oxford University Press place New York year 1997 isbn 0195046056 page 179 ref Skilled workers have long had historical import see Division of labor as masonry mason s, Carpentry carpenter s, blacksmith s, baker s, brewer s, Cooper profession cooper s, Printer publisher printer s and other occupations that are economically productive. Skilled workers were often politically active through their craft guild s. Relative supply of skilled labor Education is an important factor in increasing skill level. The increase in number of people attending high schools and colleges contribute to the increase in the supply of skilled labor. Mass education, however, is not the only factor. Immigration is also a big contributor. Immigrants created a bimodal skill distribution, where most immigrants were either low skill or high skill workers. There were few who were in between. Historical Reference In the United States such factors have caused an overall increase in the supply of skilled labor during the 20th century. The shift from unskilled to skilled labor can be attributed to increases in human capital, or in other words increasing the efficiency of humans through investment in knowledge. The American boom in public education, specifically high schools, congruently increased the level of human capital and total factor productivity. Relative demand of skilled labor One of the factors that increases the relative demand for skilled labor is attributed to the introduction of computers.

The development of motor skill occurs in the motor cortex , the region of the cerebral cortex that controls voluntary muscle groups.

No footnotes date June 2010 refimprove date August 2010 Analytical skill is the ability to visualize, articulate, and solve both complex and uncomplicated problems and concepts, and make decisions that make sense based on available information. Such skills include demonstration of the ability to apply logical thinking to gathering and analyzing information, designing and testing solutions to problems, and formulating plans. To test for analytical skills one might be asked to look for inconsistencies in an advertisement, put a series of events in the proper order, or critically read an essay. Usually standardized test s and interview s include an analytical section that requires the examiner to use their logic to pick apart a problem and come up with a solution. Although there is no question that analytical skills are essential, other skills are equally required as well. For instance in systems analysis the systems analyst should focus on four sets of analytical skills systems thinking , organizational knowledge, problem identification, and problem analyzing and solving. It also includes the way we describe a problem and subsequently finding out the solutions.

Skill testing questions or STQ are a legal requirement attached to many competition contest s in Canada . The combined effect of Sections 197 to 206 of the Criminal Code of Canada bans for profit gaming or betting, with exceptions made for provincial lottery lotteries , licensed casino s, and charity events. Many stores, radio stations, and other groups still wish to hold contests to encourage more purchases or increase consumer interest. These organizations take advantage of the fact that the law does allow prizes to be given for games of skill , or mixed games of skill and chance. In order to make the chance based contests legal, such games generally consist of a mathematical STQ. The Promotional Contest Provision of the Competition Act also states that prizes are to be distributed on the basis of skill or on a random basis. ref http www.competitionbureau.gc.ca eic site cb bc.nsf eng 01279.html ref The most common form that these questions take is as an arithmetic exercise. A court decision ruled that a mathematical STQ must contain at least three operations to actually be skill testing for example, a sample question is 2 4 10 3 Answer 38 . Enforcement of these rules is not very stringent, especially for small prizes the player may not be required to answer the STQ to claim a prize. Anecdotally, getting the answer wrong is also often not an obstacle to claiming a prize. The questions are also becoming easier. ref http www.wired.com science discoveries news 2007 01 72511 Dumb Math Tests a Canadian Thing Bot generated title ref For contests held in other countries but open to Canadians, an STQ must be asked of any potential Canadian winner.
