Store associate. Though the ones you’ve mentioned only “vary wildly” because the scam that is tipping culture (no offense to those that have those jobs but all companies should pay fair wages and not impose on their customers/patrons) and gig work are short/niche/temporary work to fill a need or gaps in industries.

PatFussy@lemm.ee 10 months agoName 1 job title that actually makes federal minimum wage. I dont mean service or gig workers either because that can vary wildly

Still, if you are genuinely curious, here is the report I mentioned.
