Your wife could move to the US, get even a minimum wage job, and sponsor you for an IR-1. This would require living apart for probably at least a year.

Or, if she has any family or friends in the US, they can sponsor you. This is what I did for my wife's visa - my brother sponsored her.

Or, if you have some savings, you can use that instead of income. Savings counts 1/3 as much as income.

Or... you really should not go to the US on the visa waiver program with the intention of filing for adjustment of status after arriving. But, if you do enter the US without that intention, you can then file for adjustment of status.

I would not bother filing for any other type of visa, personally. Permanent residence will, among other things, make the job search easier.
