After delivering donuts, working at a deli, and selling lingerie, Daly earned her GED and continued on to the University of Missouri-Kansas City and eventually got her Ph.D in economics at Syracuse University....
Daly grew up in Missouri as the daughter as a postman and a stay-at-home mom. Her parents' divorce would prompt her to drop out of school and earn her own living. At 16, Daly was living on her own — and it would be those experiences that prompted her interest in economics.
“People lived on such a margin that they lived or died based on whether their job fell through,” she said in an interview. “That made me really interested in the labor market, interested in how people could be on this knife’s edge, of climbing up the economic ladder or falling down into the trench.”Business Insider
