Prolonged Standing and Walking Required of Medium Work -- Use the ORS

In an earlier post, I addressed three occupations and looked at the amount of standing and walking in the day using the O*NET OnLine.  Prolonged Standing and Walking Required of Medium Work -- Three Examples.  Never satisfied until the we beat the dead horse to dust -- or as Judge Betty Fletcher said at least twice that I know of, you wouldn't shoot a dead duck twice?  As a matter of fact, I would, just to be for sure for sure.

Piling on the O*NET discussion, let's add the Occupational Requirements Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
