JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T announced that it hired more than 200 new employees and filled more than 450 jobs in Mississippi in 2014.

In addition to those jobs already filled in Mississippi this year, AT&T currently has 43 openings available across the state. The majority of the openings are newly-created jobs in areas including call centers, retail support, and technicians.

"This public-private partnership is a great example of continued economic development success in Mississippi," Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant said. "These hundreds of jobs are providing opportunities to our residents in the state, and we thank AT&T for being a valued business partner in Mississippi."

Much of the hiring has been spurred by AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP). Project VIP is an investment plan to expand and enhance IP broadband networks to support customers' growing desire for mobile, ultra-fast and reliable access to everything on the Internet, particularly video.

"AT&T is proud to announce that we are hiring in Mississippi," said Mayo Flynt, AT&T Mississippi President. "We're thankful to Governor Bryant, the Lt. Governor, the Speaker, and Mississippi's legislative leaders for working to create an environment that encourages private investment and job creation here in the state."

AT&T currently employs more than 2,900 employees throughout Mississippi and consistently hires new talent. More information on AT&T's current Mississippi jobs openings can be found at http://connect.att.jobs/mississippi-jobs.
