Construction workers in Kerala make 20000 a month - would you move and do that work?

If I was a construction worker then I would if I could. but I doubt anybody that isn't a Malayalam speaker can get those jobs.

do you know if there are many northerners that move to bangalore ? plenty of AP and TN move there I know.

Kerala has a dearth of manual labor. There are 2.5m Northies working in Kerala as manual labour today - I am talking about their wages only.

[insert the obligatory joke] that's because 70% of time on the job is spent adjusting the lungi.

Agreed - but the Northies are using Lungies too in Kerala :)
