The economy of Maharashtra, as state is not very healthy in comparison to ther Indian States like Punjab,Gujarat,Karnataka etc. If the income of Mumbai is kept apart the state becomes as ordinary as Bihar.This is the reason why the people of Maharashtra are so possessive of Mumbai. In general the maharashtrian people are honest, straight forward, they have the image of arrogance and not hard working as Biharis or UPites,that's why the industrialist in Mumbai prefers other state people than Maharashtrian
This has become serious problem for Maharashtrians , they do not have the capital for the business like Gujjus/Marwaris/Parsis have, they are not professionaly qualified and not ready to face the competition like south Indians and some North Indians can take.

Yes the in capability of Marathis can be proved by basic fact as in below 1.in Mumbai, non Marathas are main contributor to the commercial fields and corporates. 2.In other places of maharastra, where there is majority marathi population, the economy is very bad-Farmers suicide.

Mr. Amol, if such is the argument you are, then it is not the fault of migrants, but it is the fault of labour department who are not checking the records of employers and contractors as they are not giving wages as per Minimum Wages Act. Nobody is willing to work under low wages and if it is so, it is the cent percent fault of Industrialists of this state and Govt. of Maharashtra.
