It may give no answers relevant to Social Security disability determination but this recent release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is interesting. It looks like they could tell us whether there are sedentary unskilled jobs if they wanted to. Why not? Why can't we get a completely new Occupational Information System? No one is satisfied with what we have now.
At what point is the continued use of the ancient Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) litigated? The only thing restraining Social Security attorneys from litigating has been the fear of what might replace the DOT.

Changes to the DOT that reflect use of AI, ability to work hybrid situations, updates in assistive technology will make it harder for those with transferable skills. I wont be sad to see Pan Greaser go away though, to be honest.
