The US economy is showing signs of slowing down, adding only 54,000 jobs in May - the smallest increase in eight months. The nation's unemployment rate inched higher last month to 9.1 percent, raising fears the US recovery already may have peaked. Hiring in May fell far short of the 150,000 jobs that Wall Street was expecting, sending stock prices sharply lower on Friday.

don't blame Obama for everything. he inherited the economy from BUSH. I don't think anyone know how to handle the economy at this time.

Let's see ,,, 2009 Unemployment = 9.3%, 2010 = 9.6%, 2011(6 mon) 9.0% Not looking too good for mr oblama

9.1% is a lie. American statistics only count those who got unemployed during the last year. Those who are unemployed for more then a year and those who gave up trying - are not being included in the numbers. The real number is much much higher, one of the worlst in the civilized world. Other countries announce real numbers.
