If a person is limited to light work, that person cannot perform at least 59% of the cashier jobs in the national economy. This begs the question of the meaning of generally. The best definition is usually and the best synonym is typically. Generally, usually, and typically point to either a majority, plurality, median, or commonality. Medium exertion as to cashiers meets all the statistical conventions of generally, usually, and typically. A person with past relevant work as a medium cashier cannot perform that kind of work either as actually performed or as generally performed.
