Top 15 Jobs in Detroit

Detroit is located in the southeast corner of Michigan, on the Detroit River.

I have a martial arts training site in Detroit, just east of downtown, operated by instructors that specialize in self-defense specifically designed to help women and children that have survived domestic abuse; and, for at-risk youth that are struggling to stay out of violent circumstances. Others participate for a good workout or to study one of the specific martial arts taught by the team. Detroit has proven a very effective location for this endeavor and one of the team is working his way through college with this work. All of this shows the potential of the city of Detroit.

Like the self-defense instruction, the Service Industry overall is gaining new jobs in the city, including positions in food service, child care, teaching, landscaping, and other occupations.

The top two categories of occupations experiencing the fastest growth include the Information Technology (IT) and Heathcare Industries. Further, a portion of IT jobs are avaiable within the healthcare community itself. Other of these occupational openings are situated in the Robotics Industry. Green Industries are also increasing - see this link: Michigan Green Industry Association.

The folloing companies are the largest employers in the city, and some of the largest in the state of Michagan as well.
