None of those positions are low paid outside of teenage retail/grocery workers.

Fire/police/teacher/plumbers are very well paid.

Cleaning is hit and miss, specialty cleaning is borderline extortion.

Still, I know that most cleaning people get paid min 15$/hr.

At 15$/hr, 30k/yr is plenty to live.

fire, police, teacher, and plumbers are all in the $40k - $60k range, at least in the US. I wouldn't call that well paid.
