AT&T landline operations at a glance

AT&T isn't disclosing where it is cutting 12,000 jobs, 4 percent of its work force. 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.
