AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) will bring back 5,000 wireless call center jobs to the United States that today are outsourced to other countries, after closing its proposed merger with T-Mobile USA.
"At a time when many Americans are struggling and our economy faces significant challenges, we're pleased that the T-Mobile merger allows us to bring 5,000 jobs back to the United States and significantly increase our investment here," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T Chairman and CEO. "This merger and today's commitment are good for our employees, our customers and our country."
Today's commitment results from AT&T developing detailed analysis focused specifically on identifying opportunities with the T-Mobile merger to bring good-paying wireless call center jobs back to the United States.
AT&T committed that the merger will not result in any job losses for U.S.-based wireless call center employees of T-Mobile USA or AT&T, who are on the payroll when the merger closes.
AT&T has committed as part of the T-Mobile merger to increase its U.S. infrastructure investment by more than $8 billion. According to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute that was commissioned by the Communications Workers of America, AT&T's increased investment is estimated to produce up to approximately 96,000 new U.S. jobs.
AT&T said today's jobs commitment does not change its previous guidance on the expected overall merger synergies.
