Globalization has had several impacts on Indiana. From the options provided:
-
The industrial sector of the economy was strengthened as many factories found new markets for their goods. - This statement is true, as globalization opened up new markets and opportunities for Indiana's manufacturers.
-
Many Hoosier workers looked for training in other areas of employment after their factories closed. - This statement is also true. As some local factories shut down or moved due to global competition, workers often needed to seek new skills and training.
-
The demand for steel overseas prompted the steel mills to increase production and hire more workers. - This statement can be somewhat misleading. While there may have been periods of increased demand, the overall trend of globalization has often led to challenges for traditional steel industries in some regions, including Indiana. This might not be broadly applicable.
