The proportion of suburban jobs in Chicagoland has actually risen in recent years. Downtown Chicago has a lower proportion of regional workers than at any point in history.

The Census and Brookings Institution have all this data by metropolitan area.
Actually it's flat, but the article never claimed that the share of jobs rose in the city. It is saying that corporations are trending away from suburban office parks. It also said that the share of high paying jobs are rising in Chicago city versus Chicago suburbs. So yeah, McDonalds might be hiring in the burbs, but who cares?
