How many U.S. businesses have more than 1000 employees? 
What industry's do they represent?
What source(s) did you use to find this information?

resellers, I am looking for quantifiable and accurate statistics, not
third party ( Dun and Bradstreet, InfoUSA etc) lists

The US Census Bureau recently published its most up-to-date economic
census of the business community, which you can find here:


http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-bin/cbpnaic/cbpsel.pl
2004 County Business Patterns 


The second table on the page is titled, "Number of Establishments by
Employment-size class", and includes a column for the number of
businesses with 1,000 or more employees.

Note that on the left-hand side of the table, there is a button
labeled "Detail".  Pressing this for any industry sector will take you
a table with the sector broken out in more detail, in case this is of
interest to you.

I trust this data is esactly what you needed.  But if there's anything
else I can do for you, just let me know by posting a Request for
Clarification, and I'm at your service.

Cheers,
