Well yes -- what they would have meant to say, if they were being honest, was "Now, with Detroit reeling, many autoworkers find their economic well-being threatened."

I suppose that's just as good a way to narrow the focus of the story.Though that category, too, is a matter of defining in a partial way as if it were the whole. Unemployment doesn't only hit manufacturing jobs, or, for that matter, all manufacturing jobs... Take the same skills to the next city, and you're employed again.
