A mask

more details: 1hr is a long time to make a mask, so this one would likely be hand stitched to take the full hour and to include time processing and shipping from a 3rd world country to sell in the US for for $7.25. 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Off the top of my head and assuming you mean ignoring hand produced items and are talking about mass produced / regular things...

A). packaged food products that require baking / cooking / cooling.. (fun fact, it takes 59 minutes to make a package of Oreos)

B). Anything that requires being cured / cooled (think like epoxy, concrete... either cheap components or mass produced items where you have to control temperature change versus artificially accelerating it)

C). Some commoditized chemicals (where there is a chemical reaction that can’t be rushed, making latex/rubber is an example)

 

Assuming you mean made and sold in America otherwise it's way too easy. Ok even in America, on the internet, a lot of things sell for less than $7.25 per hour. Translation, transcription, mechanical turks type services, a lot of art out there, majority of Twitch streamers with single digit viewers (if you consider streaming a product), etc. 

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

uber driver (after all costs and taxes, especially since the driver must also pay for their own vehicle)

soccer ball (80% are made in pakistan)

handmade jewelry and trinkets of common materials made in Thailand and the Philippines, where hourly labor costs $2/hour

Philippine virtual assistant and BPO (business process operations - when you call a help line staffed in India or the Philippines)

Accountants from the Big4 outsourced to India make less than $6/hour

Most farmed produce (if you avg the time spent on each item over the growing, harvesting, packaging & transportation process by the laborers actually doing the work)
