89 people at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant will likely be affected by
planned layoffs of temporary employees.
This has to do with a contract the arsenal lost to a manufacturer in Canada.
But on a statewide and regional basis, the jobless rates remain low.
Greater Lynchburg came in at four- percent, and the Roanoke area had a
