The ALJ directed Marracco to assume an ability to perform light work as defined in the regulations with other limitations. Marracco identifies three occupations: night cleaner; mail clerk; and garment sorter. On cross-examination, the question turns to the medical expert's testimony: six hours of standing and walking in an eight-hour day. Marracco says no change because the DOT defines light work as six hours of standing/walking in an eight-hour day. Marracco further testifies that no light work ever requires more than six hours of standing/walking in a day; no light work requires standing/walking throughout the day; and Labor does not have data to the contrary. We covered the DOT, regulation, and ruling in the preceding piece on this blog. We turn our attention to night cleaner.
Marracco used DOT code 323.687-014. Occu Collect confirms that Labor puts this occupation in maids and housekeeping cleaners (SOC 37-2012).

It is very difficult to stand/walk six of eight hours if the worker never sits. With 80% standing and 70% walking/running continually or almost continually, the inference would direct that the 9% that sit less than half the time do not aggregate to two hours in a day.

The hours of standing/walking at the 10th and 25th percentiles match up with the percentage of the day for standing/walking and the O*NET description that most of the jobs are part-time to confirm that maids and housekeeping cleaners do not limit standing/walking to 75% of the day, six hours in an eight-hour day.
Nor are a plurality much less a majority of these jobs in the light category. Maids and housekeeping cleaners engage in medium or heavy exertion in 76.6% of jobs.

Unlimited standing/walking in the context of light unskilled work yields 115,349 full-time jobs in the economy. Requiring the ability to do just some sitting during the workday erodes that number to 10,381 jobs. If limited to six hours of standing/walking in a full-time day, then the person cannot perform any maid or housekeeping cleaner jobs.
