By Bill O’ Driscoll, Reno Gazette-Journal
They’re holding on to their jobs with both hands at Papa Murphy’s pizza in Spanish Springs.
As one of the toughest summer job markets for teenagers in memory approaches, those working at Papa Murphy’s said they are fortunate to have found work when the shop opened in February.
“I was extremely lucky,” said Heather Harper, 16, a student at nearby Spanish Springs High School. “A lot of my friends ask me if we’re hiring. They need jobs.”
