Aquí se trabaja el triple: A review of Latinas at work

Abstract The presence of Latina women in the US labor force has grown steadily, yet their workplace experiences remain deeply shaped by individual, occupational, and organizational factors. Recognizing the diversity of Latinas' backgrounds and work experiences, we conducted a scoping review of workplace research on Latinas across occupations, using the third shift as an interpretive lens. The third shift highlights how Latina women's labor often extends beyond paid work and household caregiving to include community care, extended family networks, and relational and emotional responsibilities. We developed an integrative nomological network illustrating how job and structural characteristics shape work and individual outcomes through mechanisms such as work–family conflict, perceived discrimination, acculturative stress, and perceived agency. Although Latinas work across diverse occupational contexts, the literature reveals recurring structural barriers that shape their experiences. These challenges are often compounded by limited access to key job resources, including flexibility, supervisor support, and culturally responsive workplace relationships. Our review extends theoretical frameworks most commonly used to study Latinas' workplace experiences, including the Job Demands–Resources and Work–Family conflict frameworks. We conclude with directions for future research and implications for more equitable workplace policies, practices, and interventions.
