New increase in the minimum wage in Spain, which will reach the symbolic threshold of 1,000 euros, with retroactive effect from January 2022. This measure welcomed by the unions will benefit 1.8 million people.
However, it was approved without the approval of employers, who are concerned about the impact of this increase on companies in full economic recovery.
