weird, I thought the 22% increase in the minimum wage last year was supposed to boost employment (somehow)?

I mean, the 22% minimum wage increase didn't have a huge effect on unemployemnt. And I doubt anyone predicted a pandemic to hit
while I agree the Spanish govt was especially poor in handling the pandemic, they weren't the only one hit by it.  Obviously the huge boost in the minimum wage isn't the only reason Spain has the highest unemployment rate in the EU (that takes decades of mismanagement), I was just making fun of the Socialist who thought it would help.
