WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- U.S. consumer confidence improved sharply in July on an improved job outlook, the Conference Board said Tuesday.
The board's consumer confidence index jumped to 106.1 in July from a revised 102.8 in June, a two-year high. Read more.
Economists were expecting a flat reading of about 102, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch. See Economic Calendar.
The big improvement came in the expectations index, which rose to 105.8 in July from a revised 100.8. It's the highest since December.
The present situation index edged up to 106.5 in July from a revised 105.9. It's a two-year high.
"The spring turnaround has been fueled by gains in employment, and unless the job market sours, consumer confidence should continue to post solid numbers," said Lynn Franco, head of the board's consumer research unit.
June's indexes were revised higher.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department estimated that new home sales dipped less than 1 percent from a record high in May to a 1.33 million seasonally adjusted annual rate in June, ahead of the 1.27 million expected. See full story.
In July, consumers' views were mixed, but generally optimistic.
The jobs outlook was generally favorable, with more consumers finding jobs to be "plentiful" now and fewer expecting the job market to worsen over the next six months.
But fewer consumers expect their incomes to rise and slightly more said current business conditions are "bad."
Despite the improved labor market outlook, the percentage saying jobs are "hard to get" outnumbered those saying they are plentiful by 26 percent to 19.8 percent.
The percentage saying the economy is "good" outnumbered those saying it's "bad" by about the same margin: 25.6 percent to 19.1 percent.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Sales of new homes fell only slightly in June from the record sales pace set last month, the Commerce Department estimated Tuesday.
Sales of new homes in the United States fell 0.8 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 1.33 million.
The decline was not as sharp as expected. Economists surveyed by CBS MarketWatch were expecting a sales rate of about 1.27 million in June.
The government revised lower the estimated sales in May but it was still an all-time high.
Sales in May rose a revised 11.7 percent to 1.34 million units, compared with the initial estimate of a 14.8 percent rise to 1.37 million units.
Economists attribute some of the strength in new home sales to "fence-sitters" who are entering the market as interest rates rise out of concern that they would unable to afford a home if rates rise further.
The National Association of Realtors reported Monday that sales of existing homes rose to record highs in June. Sales rose 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 6.95 million units.
The number of new homes for sale on the market fell about 0.5 percent to 374,000, representing 3.4-months of sales at the June pace.
New-home sales fell in every region but the South, where sales rose about 9.6 percent to a record 696,000.
Sales fell about 14.2 percent in the Northeast to 91,000. Sales in the West fell about 13.1 percent to 338,000 and sales fell about 2.9 percent to 201,000 in the Midwest.
The monthly figures are subject to revisions and to large sampling and other statistical errors. The government cautions that it can take five months for a trend in home sales to be established.
The median sales price rose 11.7 percent year-over-year to $209,900.
