i was more thinking the other way round, that an increase in unemployment decreases wages.

Increased unemployment can lead to decreased wages, depending on other factors. I had read your post above as claiming a multipart chain of higher minimum wage -> increased unemployment -> decreased wages, and my post was intended to address the first link (higher minimum wage -> increased unemployment), not the second.

i don't think i even made the first claim, at least i didn't intend to.
