Ok, let's look at it like this: maybe faunus don't make up 100% of the mining staff, but humans do make up 100% of the administrative, engineering, PR and other non dangerous positions.

So while humans also work shitty jobs, they have other jobs potentially available and have class mobility. While faunus only can aspire to the shitty and damgerous jobs.

As for Neon, I haven't read the manga, but I would wait until we learn more about Atlas Academy.

We know Atlas has a reputation for indoctrinating its students into the military, and it wouldn't be that farfetched a possibility that the military paints itselt as an oportunity for faunus to move up socially or escape poverty to get faunus to enroll. And then offer none of that, with faunus in the military never making it past the lower ranks or having the posibility of becoming officials.
