Wright

MEMORANDUM ***

Although two of the transferable “skills” the vocational expert identified, verbal skills and working with hands, do not appear to qualify as such skills under Soc. Sec. R. 82-41, 1 the remaining skills that he *583 identified do satisfy the Social Security Administration’s definition of the term. Using those skills, the vocational expert testified that Mr. Wright could work as a gate guard, a telephone answering service operator, or a microfilm camera operator. His opinion provides substantial evidence for the ALJ’s conclusion that Wright is not disabled within the meaning of the Act because he can perform other work in the national economy that does not require more skill or exertion than his past relevant work.

We affirm the remainder of the ALJ’s decision for the reasons elaborated by the district court in its decision dated July 9, 1999.
