agree  The Misha: I don't read it as having anything to do specifically with labor. It's about available capacity, however one understands that.

  -> Exactly. Спасибо!
neutral  interprivate: Похоже, речь идет о рабочей силе.
1 hr
  -> Спасибо, может быть.
agree  Rachel Douglas: One could write something like "existing idle capacities", to cover a range of possibilities for what type of capacities it's talking about.

  -> Thank you, Rachel. What you suggested is just perfect!
agree  Igor Blinov

  -> спасибо!
neutral  vera12191: Разумеется, что "потенциал" вряд ли можно считать удачно выбранным термином ("свободные трудовые ресурсы" для автора слишком простое выражение ;-)), но если бы речь шла о производстве, тогда бы написали "свободные производственные мощности".
