context: The vast number of jobs falling within the category of inspector, all with differing job requirements, makes it quite difficult to tell whether someone with Pires' level of impairment might be able to perform an inspector job. Therefore, the lack of any specifics as to what this job might entail renders this aspect of the VE's testimony insufficient to satisfy the Commissioner's burden of proving the existence of jobs in the national economy that may be performed by someone with the claimant's residual functional capacity.
