Area business leaders bemoaned the takeover because the city would lose many high-paying professional positions. Pathmann said layoffs were in areas such as finance, marketing and legal.

Pathmann said laid off workers can apply for call center jobs and other positions available in Little Rock, where she says Verizon is expanding parts of its operation.
