Retail salesperson, fast food worker, factory worker. These are some examples of minimum wage jobs back then.

Not a housekeeper. They were excluded from FLSA, along with agricultural workers. Housekeepers got FLSA protections in 1974. I'm not sure agricultural workers have them yet. I think most ag worker protections are under state law.
