Wristband's helping hand in job hunt

Wristbands emblazoned with various campaign slogans and uplifting messages of support are nothing new, but when two Florida residents came up with a simple phrase it seems to have captured the essence of these tough economic times: "I need a job."

Barbara Bourn and Stephanie Aucoin, both victims of the recession, came up with the idea just a couple of months ago and it has proved to be a huge success.

They began with just a few hundred of the wristbands giving them to friends and colleagues, and for some it worked.

Now Barbara's small rented home is overwhelmed with orders from across the United States.
