Congratulation all longs!!Washington, June 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly rose in May and the number of jobs outside of government fell for the first time in more than four years, Labor Department figures showed. Wages rose less than expected.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.1 percent in May from a 30- year low of 3.9 percent in April, the government said. Businesses shed 116,000 jobs, while the government added 357,000 temporary workers to help with the 2000 Census.

Combined, private and government payrolls grew 231,000, still the lowest increase in three months. Manufacturing, construction and retail jobs all fell. The report, on top of other signs this week the economy might be cooling, could lead Federal Reserve policy-makers to refrain from raising interest rates this month after six increases in the past year.

``You would have to think that, yes, the economy is slowing,`` said Chris Rupkey, senior financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd. in New York, before the report. ``The brakes that the Fed`s been applying are giving us what they hoped for -- a gentle slowdown.``

Workers` average hourly earnings in May rose 0.1 percent, or 1 cent. That followed a 0.4 percent rise in April earnings.

``It would suggest wage gains are staying in line with productivity increases and that there`s little pressure on overall prices,`` said Lynn Reaser, chief economist at Bank of America Capital Management Inc. in St. Louis, before the report. ``It could well cause Federal Reserve to stay on hold in June.``
