An unidentified number of elves at the North Pole. However, there is a contradictory argument saying that Santa Claus is from Greenland.
I am not sure if we will get any accurate answers about the number of elves Santa Claus employs in the immediate future, but we must have faith in Santa Claus. We must be strong...
The following text is from the first link:
“Based on his advanced knowledge of the theory of relativity, Santa recognizes that time can be stretched like a rubber band, that space can be squeezed like an orange and that light can be bent,” Silverberg says. “Relativity clouds are controllable domains – rips in time – that allow him months to deliver presents while only a few minutes pass on Earth. The presents are truly delivered in a wink of an eye.”
Following this line of reasoning, it is safe to assume that Santa Claus uses the relativity clouds to slow time down for his elves as they are preparing the presents, so there may be far fewer elves than you would initially think.

Well, if you want to be technical...
Most of the elves would have to work around Christmas, so there would be a gradual amount of elves increasing year round, until Christmas is over and everyone basically gets a break. So, if each child in the world got an average of 6 presents (hypothetically) from Santa, and each elf could cover at least two a day (hypothetically), that would mean that it would take three days (hypothetically) for an elf to collect the presents for the kid. So, basically, elves could be triple the amount of children. BUT...elves could work for many more children than one, so the world may never know. It has to be around at least 76,863 to cover everyone in the world. (Just because its my favorite number)
Then again, parents and family members and present givers could be elves, so that COULD be around like 3.5 billion elves.
Who knows :D

Not that many, since santa only brings gifts to (relatively) rich kids.

An exact number is hard to know because his compound is so secure and intelligence is scarce. I'd say he has a force of at least 20,000

They've had a union since the Chicago Haymarket bombing in 1886.

12 at the North Pole and about 5,000 in both China and Indonesia.
