INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Labor Department says Indiana will receive more than $21 million in additional funds for job training and other services to workers who lose their jobs due to outsourcing and foreign trade.

Only four states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, California and North Carolina — are receiving more money than Indiana.

The funds are part of more than $450 million in Trade Adjustment Assistance funding released to states Wednesday to provide job training and employment and case management services.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama's stimulus funding plan, expands the Trade Adjustment Assistance program to ensure more U.S. workers negatively affected by trade have the skills, resources and support to find new jobs.
