We are talking about Spain, where most people work in service jobs for very small companies that are already struggling to stay alive. If a bar needs, let's say, four bartenders now, they are not going to contract a fifth one with the increment of costs that implies (with no increase, at all, in their income). They probably cannot even afford it. What they will do is to keep the same four bartenders and pay a part of their salary in black money, increasing the submerged economy, and in the long term being detrimental for the economy and, therefore, employment.

We need more high quality jobs, not paying more for the low quality jobs we already have.
