According to the Labor Department, employers created 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate also increased from 8.1 percent in April to 8.2 percent currently- the first increase in 11 months. The Labor Department also says the economy created far fewer jobs in the previous two months than first thought, revising figures down to a 49,000 difference in jobs from the original figure reported.
