Some of those jobs will be probably transitory and some are not worth doing in the u.s. even at minimum wage.
There's a lot of automation going on in agriculture[1].
Regarding maids: Roomba's and alike might be starting to become popular in india[2].
Regarding a driver: The average wage for a taxi driver in the u.s. is $12. Not that far from minimum wage[3].
Regarding a cook: I suspect that , a least at current wages cooks make(and even at minimum wages), it's more economically and varied to order food than to have a cook.
