The Fed reports March factory orders up on transportation equipment demand but notes widespread weakness across the economy.

Policymakers meet May 15 to consider another rate cut.

The Virginia Employment Commission says the March jobless rate held at 2.4 percent, higher than 2.1 percent a year earlier but well below the national 4.6 percent.

Northern Virginia posted the lowest metro rate at 1.3 percent, while Danville's was the highest at 6.2 percent. Dickenson County and Lancaster County had the peak rates among coalfields and fishing communities at 13.5 percent and 11.7 percent respectively.
