I don't think so. Lack of workers means you cannot e.g. produce all the goods you want to produce. This will result in less goods being sold -> recession. So basically the lack of workers could be understood as a potential to grow but if you cannot satisfy the demand for workers it will have the opposite effect.

I am not an economist so it might be totally wrong but that is my understanding.

If you produce N goods now and want to produce N+1 goods but cannot find labor how does that result in producing N-1 goods?

Who is saying that you still can produce N goods? If you don't have enough workers (anymore).

Having the potential to grow (e.g. orders) doesn't mean you cannot shrink at the same time because you just cannot produce e.g.

Indeed. "grow" was in one of the parents so I assumed everyone was meaning more leading to my post.
