How do i sort and count data into categories using a pivot table?

Let's say i have this data to analyze:

Company #of employees State Industry

aaa 326 CA Industry A
bbb 1020 CA Industry C
ccc 575 NY Industry D
ddd 12000 VT Industry C

I would like to create a pivot table that summaries data this way:

# of employees
0-100 0
100-1000 2
1000-10000 1
10000-100000 1

or sort and count by brackets of 50 (# of employees):

0-50 0
50-100 0
100-150 0
etc..

Does anyone know how to do this with pivot tables? I know this can be done
because i've seen it done but can't remember how!!!! : (

Thanks for your reply.

Problem is when i right click anywhere on the pivot table, all i have as
option is "group and show detail" and then if i click on "group", it cannot
group the selection. Am i clicking in the wrong place? (i tried clicking just
about everywhere on the pivot table)..
by the way i have Excel 2003..
