new things. It truly is a team
effort, and we couldnt be more
proud of this recognition.

AT&T names Steve
Hahn president of
AT&T Oklahoma
AT&T this week announced that Steve Hahn
has been named president of AT&T Oklahoma.
Hahn most recently served as president of
AT&T Kansas.
As president of AT&T Oklahoma, Hahn will
oversee the companys local, state and federal
government relations efforts in the state, in
addition to working closely with community
and business leaders, elected officials and oth-
ers at AT&T to continue to bring advanced
communications technologies, including 4G
LTE and other broadband services, to consum-
ers and businesses.
I am honored to join a tremendous AT&T
team here in the Sooner State, said Hahn. I
look forward to helping continue our legacy of
investment, job creation, innovation and com-
munity engagement across Oklahoma.
Hahn has held numerous, key leadership
positions at AT&T. Prior to serving in his
most recent role as president of AT&T Kan-
sas, he served as Director of External Affairs
at AT&Ts corporate headquarters in Dallas
where he played a key role in the deployment of
AT&Ts award-winning U-verse TV service in 22
states. Prior to that assignment, Hahn led the
3-Screen Operations team in AT&T Entertain-
ment Services where he directed the first initia-
tives to deliver on the companys commitment
to offer compelling content across 3 screens
televisions, computers and wireless devices.
Hahn is a graduate of University of Texas at
Austin and earned his M.B.A. from Texas A&M
University. He is married to Julie Hahn and
they have three sons. He is an avid outdoors-
man and enjoys golf, soccer, tennis, hunting
and fishing. Hahns appointment is effective
immediately and he will have an office in Okla-
homa City.
Consumer spending falls for 1st time
in a year as income growth slows
WASHINGTON Americans
surprisingly spent less in April,
the first monthly drop in a year
and a potentially worrisome sign
for an economic rebound after a
slow winter.
Consumer spending was down
$8.1 billion, or 0.1 percent, last
month, the Commerce Depart-
ment said Friday.
The decrease came after strong
spending growth in March,
revised up slightly Friday to a 1
percent gain. That was the best
performance since August 2009.
Economists did not expect
consumers to keep up the March
pace. But forecasts still called for
spending to grow by 0.2 percent
last month.
Part of the reason for the
decline, the first since a 0.2 per-
cent drop in April 2013, could
be that personal income growth
was down. Incomes rose 0.3 per-
cent compared to a 0.5 percent
increase in March.
While consumers spent less in
April, they saved more. The sav-
ings rate increased to 4 percent
from 3.6 percent in March.
A key measure of inflation
showed prices rose 0.2 per-
cent last month, the same as in
March. But for the previous 12
months, the measure was up 1.6
percent, the most since Novem-
ber 2012.
The annual figure is nearing
the Federal Reserves target for 2
percent price growth.
Consumer spending accounts
for about 2/3 of U.S. econom-
ic activity. And despite severe
weather in much of the country,
consumers mostly kept opening
their wallets during the winter.
Spending increased 3.1 per-
cent from January through
March, down from 3.3 percent in
the fourth quarter.
