One defintion of irony is: "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result". Libertarian philosophy has the notion that minimum wage causes unemployment, especially for workers on the margin so to see an article talking about under reported unemployment with an ad right next to it advocating one of many things that cause unemployment, to me, is ironic.
That's not what "irony" means.
