Scott v. Wells Fargo & Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that 89,000 jobs is a significant number of jobs in the national economy (collecting cases)
• holding that the ALJ has “discretion to decide, using substantial evidence, when a number of jobs qualifies as significant,” and that the ALJ’s determination in that case that 89,000 jobs was significant was supported by substantial evidence
• holding that 89,000 jobs nationwide was a significant number against a challenge that it was not significant because it amounted to only a small percentage of the total jobs in the national economy; no argument regarding the need for regional numbers
• concluding that 89,000 jobs was a significant number of jobs
• noting that Seventh Circuit case law “does not provide a clear baseline for how many jobs are needed” to satisfy commissioner’s burden at step five
• finding that a determination of significance does not depend upon the establishment of a standard for significance
