How big is the RX industry headcount wise

Given that it's only at a few banks like PJT, LAZ, EVR, HL, GUGG, ROTH, MOE, GHL, PWP as the bigger ones and places like TRS, Ducera, CVP (RX team is very small), etc as smaller ones. I was wondering if anyone had an estimate of the total headcount in the nation. Does ~1000 people sound like a decent estimate?

Edit: Just talking about the US. I can't remove that Middle East tag for some reason.
