AT&T cutting 12,000 jobs

December 4, 2008 But the company did say one reason for the cuts is a "changing business mix." That refers, at least in part, to the long-term trend in which customers are abandoning traditional landline phone service for wireless options or phone service from the cable company.

Here are the 22 states where AT&T provides local phone service:

Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.
