Enlightened benevolence doesn't really seem like the sort of thing the upper strata is known for.
You're not being imaginative (or bloody minded, lol) enough. I could think of a million things to do with people who don't need as much oxygen and don't suffer fatigue as easily. People who would have increased muscle mass and the ability to hold their breath.
Mining would be a waste of their abilities, as would manufacturing. On the upside, they'd make great search and rescue divers, also, SEALS. Tetrachromats would make brilliant cops....or MOUT assualt.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
