Last time I checked beside common things like government, Detroit has Wayne State [[and other large universities), things like BC/BS, Quicken Loans, much, much more medical care [[e.g., VAMC and all of the other hospitals in Midtown), etc. etc.
Detroit has a very significant white collar employment base lot of it along Woodward from the River through New Center.
No way can one compare UofM Flint and Kettering to say WSU, UDM, Marygrove, etc. Wayne is a very large university.
How much white collar employment is there in Flint beside education and government? Anything else, white collar, which employs more than say 2,500 people?
