A small percentage of cashiers have the sit-stand option, 5.6%. Cashiers stand/walk four hours per day at the 10th percentile and 4.27 hours per day at the 25th percentile. We recall that almost half of the jobs are part-time and therefore look to the percentage of the day of standing/walking:

All other percentiles require more standing/walking as measured as a percentage of the day. We are ready to run the numbers to illustrate the number of full-time, unskilled jobs requiring light, medium, and heavy exertion with a side illustration of the sit-stand option and a limitation to six hours of standing/walking in a day:

The next time a vocational expert offers cashier II as an example of light work, ask for the data source for full-time, skill level, and exertion. Neither the Occupational Employment Quarterly nor Job Browser Pro uses BLS data to determine the percentages of jobs that are unskilled or by exertion particularly the breakdown of the amount of sitting/standing/walking in an eight-hour day. OccuCollect's Sitting, Standing, Walking Report puts the O*NET and ORS data in one place to erase this occupation from consideration. OccuCollect's Lifting & Carrying Report establishes the strength requirements of the occupational group. Both reports carry the SVP data and the part-time vs. full-time breakdown from the O*NET.
