AT&T Wireless will cut more jobs as it works to improve profit margins and consolidate operations. That could be about 3 percent, or 1,000 jobs in 2003 from its work force of about 31,000 at the beginning of the year, a source familiar with the situation said to Reuters. "We want to get to industry-leading margins," said Mark Siegel, spokesman for the company. "This effort is primarily about re-engineering the business. We expect the impact to be in the low single digits." The company cut 2,000 jobs in 2002 as it eliminated its fixed wireless business and cut employees from acquired company Telecorp.
