It is 32 months in a row now that that's been happening.

What gives you ask?

Here's Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman.

Output for manufacturing is going to keep going up.

My colleague David Brancaccio did a series a number of years ago called Robots Ate My Job.

And then a couple of years later, he did a series called Robot Proof Jobs.

This next story is kind of a hybrid.

Forget artificial intelligence for a second and what it is and will do to the labor market.

On some college campuses, actual robots are, metaphorically anyway, hiring students, teaching those students, and in some cases, rerouting their careers.

Julie Picard has the story.

Speaking of deliveries, as we kind of were, they don't usually come to mind when you're talking dollar stores.

Turns out, though, they are becoming more of a thing dollar deliveries are.

Dollar Tree announced last week its customers can now get their purchases delivered with DoorDash.

And you can get your stuff delivered from the other two big dollar store chains as well.

That would be Family Dollar and Dollar General, in case you're confused.

This caught our eye because the dollar discounters are supposed to offer value, right?

But you tag delivery fees on top of that.

Is there still a deal being had?

Marketplace's Stephanie Hughes is on the dollar store beat for us today.

Thank you.
