AT&T® announced on Friday, November 1, 2013, that the company will hire workers for more than 90 jobs in Wisconsin, including more than 80 new jobs. The positions will be primarily focused on AT&T U-verse technicians and are a result of AT&T’s continued investment in Wisconsin to support AT&T U-verse, the fastest growing TV service in the country.
“I am proud to join AT&T for the second time in the past three years to announce additional jobs coming to Wisconsin and here in Milwaukee,” said Governor Scott Walker. “Companies like AT&T realize that Wisconsin is open for business and are investing in the Wisconsin economy.”
In the first half of 2013, AT&T invested nearly $140 million in its wireless and wired networks in Wisconsin. The investments included deployment of new macro cell sites, small cells and Distributed Antenna Systems across the state as a part of AT&T’s Project Velocity IP, a three-year investment plan announced in 2012 to expand and enhance its IP broadband network. The company also expanded and enhanced its 4G LTE network which provides ultra-fast mobile Internet speeds, and deployed new Wi-Fi hot spots.

VanderSanden. “As part of our commitment to this level of customer service and to support our growth in Wisconsin we are pleased to have the opportunity to welcome more than 90 Wisconsin residents to the AT&T family.”
