More signs of a stronger US jobs market appeared in the monthly Gallup survey on job creation.

The index isn’t closely followed but it rose to a six-year high in May and remained there in the June report published today.

Rising government payrolls add to the good news from ADP’s private jobs report

Here is what Gallup had to say:

After five months of U.S. workers reporting increased hiring at their workplaces, June’s index score maintained the level from May. June’s score could represent a brief halt in the consistent increases in the index so far in 2014, but it could also signal that job creation perceptions are leveling off after a five-month period of progress for the job market.
