How do you determine how many managed objects of a certain entity type exist in the managed object context?

Apple's sample code gives this example for finding managed objects.

NSManagedObjectContext *moc = [self managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription
    entityForName:@"Employee" inManagedObjectContext:moc];
NSFetchRequest *request = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setEntity:entityDescription];

....but then goes on to talk about various predicates (like "where salary is over 10000").
I simply want "all employees".

I've looked through the documentation and found "countForFetchRequest: error:" but that still leads the question of what kind of request asks for "all objects of a certain type". Sorry if this is obvious. I'm new to Core Data and am still trying to work through all the new classes.

Thanks.
