How many IB positions open are there?

I know how competitive IB is, but I want a clearly perspective on exactly how competitive is there. How many new summer analyst/fulltime roles are there every year? This whole time I've been thinking <1000, (at least for top BBs and EBs), but is that number really accurate?
