"Such slight negative growth doesn't mean that you can't have low unemployment or even that there cannot be monthly job increases." Ok, but do you know of any time in the past when there was a recession and low unemployment? It is interesting, the Fed was concerned about inflation of which there was almost no sign of. They increased the discount rate at a very fast clip and that caused business to slow. But the unemployment rate hardly changed. Whatever is going on in the economy, it is not a classical case.
