According to the U.S. Census Bureau in the broadwoven fabric mills industry as a whole, approximately 1,963 establishments operated in this category for part or all of 2004. Industry-wide employment totaled approximately 107,566 workers receiving a payroll of more than $1.8 billion. Companies in this industry tended to be smaller in size with nearly 64 percent employing less than 20 workers while only 12 percent have greater than 500 employees.
