AT&T has hired 2,000 temporary employees to help manage the influx of shoppers expected June 29 when the iPhone goes on sale, reports CNN Money.
The telecommunications company, which will be the exclusive service provider for the communications device, is planning for enhanced security to help control crowds and prevent the theft of the device at its roughly 1,800 stores in the first few months of distribution.
The employees “have already been hired and they have already begun working,” said AT&T spokesman Michael Coe.
