Keralites working outside the state is not a new phenomena. The Kerlites first migrated to Madras City (Chennai), then to Bombay (Mumbai) and other parts of India. When these places got saturated, they started migrating to the West Asian Countries and other parts of the world.
There is a joke that when Neil Amstrong landed on the Moon there was a tea shop of a Mappila (muslim) from Kerla and he offered him a cup of tea!!!!!
Kerala is a small state and the density of population is higher compared to other parts of the Country. Kerala in facts survives of "money order economy"!!!!
The resources of the State (Country) are concentrated in the hands of the Central Govt. So the State getting maximum allocation from the Central Govt has a better chance of industrial development. There is no use blaming the State Govt.
