Who’s hiring in Detroit?
Detroit still builds vehicles. Stellantis builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee at its Detroit Assembly Complex on the east side, where the Jefferson and Mack plants neighbor each other. GM builds electric pickups and SUVs at Factory Zero on the border of Hamtramck. Nearby are suppliers and warehouses supplying those plants with parts. They hire assemblers, material handlers, forklift operators and quality inspectors, often for multiple shifts.
Southwest Detroit is the freight side of the city: the Ambassador Bridge, the new Gordie Howe International Bridge with customs plaza in Delray, and the rail lines and yards around those facilities move parts and goods to and from Michigan and Ontario. North of downtown, Eastern Market expanded after World War II into a center for food wholesalers and processors. This combination creates a need for loaders, pickers and packers, food production workers and general laborers on second and third shift as well as days.
