As deputy commissioner at the New York State Department of Labor, Nancy Dunphy oversees a $7 billion unemployment insurance system as well as the New York State Department of Labor Research and Statistics function.
A second generation Irish American with ancestry in Co. Mayo, Dunphy is proud of her heritage.
“My Irish heritage provides me with a sense of family, ethics, and a perspective on what is important in life as well as an appreciation of Ireland’s rich literature, folklore, humor, culture, beautiful landscapes, cultural diversity, music, food, architectural richness, and most importantly, a wish to continue its traditions, values, and customs in a constantly changing world,” says Dunphy.
She has been married for 30 years to Terrence Peter Dunphy, and is based in Albany, New York.
