A 747 might have a stall speed between 100–180 knots. A Cessna 172 stalls around 30–40 knots. (Note to commenters, these are approximate numbers to give an idea. If you’re a pilot follow your training and your own plane’s specs.) Note that the stall speed is airspeed, not ground speed.

What’s the slowest speed a jet can go?

The landing speed is about 140 knots. The slowest I’ve ever heard air traffic control to ask jet to go is 160 knots. I can’t imagine them flying any slower. Typically 170 knots is as slow as a plane will have to go except of course on final approach and takeoff.
