Detroit has only about two car assembly plants remaining in the city, although some others may be mothballed and in condition to reopen on short notice. Car manufacturers don't want to tell their employees that they have to live in Detroit if they want to have a good paying factory job, so car assembly is done throughout Michigan, Ohio, and dozens of other places in the US that are not Detroit. GM kept their headquarters in the city since that was part of their bailout deal in 2008 or '09.
Factory workers don't want to live in Detroit, so why would managers and executives in competitive industries want to have operations there? Detroit currently has about 900 abandoned manufacturing plants of all types and sizes.
