U.S. workers' reports of hiring activity at their place of employment in
June held at the record high first achieved in May. The plus 33 job
creation index score in June represents 44 percent of employees saying
their employer is hiring workers and expanding the size of its workforce
minus the 11 percent saying their employer is letting workers go.
Of
the four major U.S. regions, the Midwest has the highest job creation
index (plus 37), followed by the West (plus 34), with the East and South
(both plus 31) slightly further behind. The Midwest had led the other
regions most of last summer before falling behind the West in the winter
months. As the weather warms again, the Midwest has re-emerged as the
strongest region for hiring. The Midwest's plus 37 index score is
notable as the highest Gallup has measured for any region in its
eight-year trend, but it is not significantly better than the region's
scores of plus 36 on two occasions last summer.
