employment/labour pool


Explanation:
labour pool or employment pool

in UK English:

"Rich Employment Pool

The average unemployment rate in the North of England is 5.6%, which is
slightly higher than the UK average, ensuring that there is an available
workforce ready to sustain productivity even in the most labor intensive
operations. Employers also have access to a large pool of more than
100,000 students graduating from the region's 22 universities each year."

Hope this helps

The Reims Management School also uses the term:

"Reims is at the heart of an employment pool of over 300,000 inhabitants. Of course the Champagne industry is an important employer, but metallurgy, industrial glass, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, cardboard and building are also strongly represented."

http://www.reims-ms.fr/?page=http://www.reims-ms.fr/~rms/en/...

French version:

"Reims est au cœur d'un bassin d'emploi de + de 300 000 habitants; Le Champagne bien sur mais aussi la métallurgie, le verre industriel, l'industrie chimique et pharmaceutique, le papier carton et le BTP sont fortement représentés. "

available workforce/labour force of the area


Explanation:
bassin seems to mean something like the labour reservoir, or reserve, though in this context use of these words would not be good English.
