State Industries LITERACY · 4TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A state's industries follow from its resources, its location, and its history, which is why no two states have the same mix. Natural resources come first: coal, oil, timber, fertile soil, or a deep harbour determine what can be produced cheaply. Location matters next, since a state on a major river, rail line, or border develops trade and processing that a landlocked one does not. History then locks choices in, because once a workforce, a university, and a supplier network exist in one industry, new firms in that industry go there too — a pattern economists call clustering. Industries also change: states that were built on manufacturing have shifted toward healthcare, logistics, and services, and studying that shift explains a great deal about where people move. Questions: 1 What three things shape a state's industries? 2 What is clustering? 3 What has replaced manufacturing in many states? www.littleactivity.com 4th Grade · Literacy
