Or at least the bottom tier of mining personnel. The one that gets paid the worst for the most danger.

We know that Long term Dust exposure forced Nick out of an active involvement, and when you multiply the dangers of mining (toxic/explosive gas, dangerous amounts of dust, poor safety sstandards, etc) by highly volatile elemental crystals, that gets ugly.

It would arguably make sense for Jaques to recruit largely from Faunus, assuming that their other job prsospects are rather poor/unlikely. Mining is high risk work, but one would hope that it can pay well.
