TIME PERIOD: One of three elasticity determinants (budget proportion and substitute availability are the other two) stating that the elasticity of a good tends to be greater for a longer time period of analysis.

In both cases, longer time periods allow consumers and produces more time to adjust to any price changes.

CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE Everyone in the economy, 16 years of age or older, who is neither institutionalized nor in the military, and is either employed or unemployed but actively seeking employment.
