I thought workers elite would be interesting so opened the link. Google’s questioning of my search term made me smile….
Did you mean to search for: “workers late”

The US has about 5% of the world population, clocks up about 20% of the world’s internet usage (don’t know how that is measured, see link for nos.), 25% of the world’s energy use, 25% of the world’s garbage production, roughly 48% of the world’s military spending (calc. from global security org.) uses about a third of world goods and services, producing much of these itself.
internet stats (basic)
global security
The pov on the elites, as measured by the interest in them with a search engine, is peculiarly American, reflecting, in fact, State domination, with the business and media communities playing handmaidens.
The high score goes to political elite. Next down, but far down, about equal, world elite, business elite and media elite.
The good score for ‘world elite’ is an extension of both political elite power in the US, as it seeks to dominate the world, and thus the concomitant fear in the US of any control by ‘global powers’ or ‘a one-world Gvmt’. (Ordinary people in Nepal, Brunei, Switzerland, Greenland, etc. are not afraid of World Power, but of their neighbors or their own Gvmt.) Of course, that also relates to a traditional anti-Gvmt. stance in the US – no Guvmint will tell me what to do!, etc.
English language stats. include Canada, Aus, GB. Countries in which the US stance on many matters grows larger month by month.
Soft power and hard power?
