Can any of you tell me what does it mean when all of my industries go up or down? Like when you choose an answer to an issue its either all of your industries rise or fall by a little bit.?

The issues manipulate stats, you've been on this site for more than 6 months, I think you should know that? Please clarify your question.

If I understand your question, I think it is that you wanted some clarity on whether or not it's normal for nearly ALL of the industries to go up and down in unison when you answer some issues. The short answer is: Yes, it does affect in such a way, and it is most very likely normal for 99% of the time.

Long answer:

Looking at your stats, you are one of those nations that focus on Welfare more than businesses (to evaluate: There are 18 industries: The usual 15 industries, plus Manufacturing and Agriculture Sectors, and then Tourism that counts as industry).

CII - Combined Industries Index: Normalized sums of those 18 Industries I talked about. By some rough estimates and inference from the graph, yes. Correlation does not always mean Causation, that I am aware, but it is normal to answer a lot on giving people the welfare that hurts your industries (especially the smaller ones).

Having a heavy amount of Welfare - as you probably might be answering issues in such a manner - could be the reason for the trend. You will see that subsidizing businesses can help too, but seems like pro-Welfare issue choices are affecting your industries.

EDIT: As for issue effects, not trends, Trotterdam's resources help, such as here. Again, short answer: Yes, some issues affect all the industries together. They usually go up or down in unison unless the issue is about a particular industry.

Ok, but what do the industries have to do with the issue if its political related?

There are many underlying stats that determine weird stats like industries. Politics could affect the economy for instance, affecting the industry.

In slightly less technical terms (although Val's explanation is very comprehensive!), it's to do with your Business Subsidisation.

You have a decently high level of business subsidisation, so all your industries receive a bit of government money propping them up. Decreasing your business subsidisation will, therefore, decrease all your industries (because they're receiving less government money).

However, this decrease can happen even with issues unrelated to business subsidisation. If you increase government spending in one department, all the others tend to decrease slightly to accomodate the change. So if you increase, say, your Public Transport budget (seems unrelated, right?), all your other government departments decrease, which includes your business subsidisation, and so all your industries decrease.

Fortunately these secondary-effect decreases are very small, so it's still possible to grow industries even when a lot of issues will have this knock-on effect sending them downwards.
