目的：比较和对比黑人女性和拉丁裔女性在工作场所的经历、挑战和职业流动性。设计/方法/方法-来自美国人口普查局、美国劳工部、皮尤西班牙裔研究中心和其他相关数据库的现有文献和数据被用于评估有色人种女性的劳动力参与、教育和收入。具体而言，考虑到影响这种代表性的历史和社会影响，研究了他们在组织职位上的代表性。应用相关人力资本理论（HCT）考虑其对黑人妇女和拉丁裔工作场所结果的预测能力。尽管有色人种女性在美国劳动力中所占的比例越来越大，但平等机会立法（目前已进入第五个十年）对有色人种女性地位的改善，并没有像她们的教育和劳动力参与所期望的那样大。HCT不能充分解释拉丁裔和黑人妇女的经历....

Relevant human capital theory (HCT) was applied to consider its predictive power for outcomes of black women and Latinas in the workplace.Findings – Although women of color are increasing proportions of all women in the US labor force, equal opportunity legislation (now in its fifth decade) has improved their status less than would be expected by their education and workforce participation. HCT does not adequately explain the experiences of Latinas and black women....
