Spain minimum wage to rise, says Zapatero: "Spain's minimum wage will rise by 1.3% in 2011, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has announced.
The increase will take monthly minimum pay to 641.50 euros (£551; $851).
Mr Zapatero said state pensions would go up by at least the same percentage - and more in the case of those receiving the smallest pensions.
He told a news conference the government was making 'a special effort at solidarity' despite Spain's economic crisis.
The proposed rise in the minimum wage is well below inflation, which is currently 2.3% a year in Spain"
