Description
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge: Appellant, Christina Pagano Floca, successfully proved employment discrimination in her Title VII suit. She appeals, however, because the district court declined to award front pay and back pay and awarded only nominal damages. Because we believe the district court wrongly applied the burden of proof on the issue of mitigation of damages and erroneously determinated that a job as a registered nurse is substantially equivalent to a job as a director of nursing, we vacate and remand on the issue of the denial of back pay. We affirm the denial of front pay, however, because Floca voluntarily removed herself from the job market to enter school to learn a new career.
