Count the posts number for every category

Question

I'd like to count the number of posts created for every category, so:

12 Works (12 posts in works category)
36 Pictures (36 posts in pictures category)
17 Furnitures (17 posts in furnitures category)

How can I do that?

You can use wp_list_categories() function and set show_count to 1 (true) http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
