No, the proof is in the unemployment rate. Surveyed businesses layoff
workers, yet the unemployment rate goes down. Why? Because the
unemployment rate surveys households...and that means the people in
those
households are working somewhere. Where are they working? Obviously in
businesses not tracked as closely by the payroll data (ie--small
businesses).

And I had understood the jobless rate was determined by claims made at
unemployment offices.

Are you using Fox News surveys?

Only when they're reporting statistics from BLS.
