Indeed.
The majority of good-paying jobs have been out in the suburbs since the 1980s [[Ford, Chrysler, The Warren Tech Center, GM Pontiac, Auto Suppliers, etc.).
That said, I have noticed a positive trend in the last 5 years. The traffic in and out of downtown during rush hour is getting progressively worse, which goes to show the sheer number of jobs that have been migrating from the suburbs to downtown.
