The Commerce Department said Tuesday the weakness was concentrated in the communications sector, where orders plunged by 41.1 percent in November.

Demand in all categories of durable goods was down 2.5 percent, a slightly smaller drop than the 3.1 percent originally stated in a preliminary report two weeks ago.
