An important development in the economic crisis.
JP Morgan Chase halted all foreclosure proceedings Friday until President Barack Obama gets his housing game plan together.
House banking chairman Barney Frank suggested this. JP Morgan Chase was the first megabank to do it. It buys time for thousands of families.
Foreclosures enlarge the original subprime crisis. When homes sell for a third less in foreclosure sales, home values go down for others on the same block.
"So you might play by the rules, you might pay your mortgage on time, but if your neighbor's affected, so too we're all connected in this," said Nic Retsinas.
Retsinas, who ran the Federal Housing Administration under Clinton and now runs the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, was in Hawaii Friday and appeared on Sunrise on KGMB9 to describe the dilemma the president faces.
"I think within the next few days, perhaps the next few weeks, you'll see a more aggressive intervention to try to keep people in homes, to stop people from losing their homes, because that creates that downward spiral," Retsinas said.

Banking Jobs in Hawaii?
Nov 13, 2008 by Cody | Posted in Honolulu
I am considering starting a career as a personal banker for a stable bank. I would really like to move out to Hawaii and live there for a few years, but I am not too familiar with what banks they have out there and if there are many jobs.
My question is 1) are there alot of stable banks that are hiring recent college grads and 2) how is the general economy doing in Hawaii right now?
Thank you very much.
1) Hawaii being a small and secluded state have a few banks availiable. Here is a list of some of the top major banks operating in Hawaii,
1-BOH (Bank of Hawaii)
2-First Hawaiian Bank
3-American Savings Bank
According to boh.com, Bank of Hawaii was rated number one amongst 18 other banks, I have followed their stocks and BOH have been stable if not rising steadily in the Stock Market. And having only a few banks to choose from(not much investments from locals and small businesses in huge companies e.g. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan&Chase, i would believe), BOH is stable, not sure about the rest but I would presume are also stable.
2.) Economy is worse if not the same across the country. Tourism is our largest form of income(period..) and with not much money going around, less tourist are targeting Hawaii as a travel destination inturn less investments in banks.
example of the economy: Although gas prices are at an all time low right low, the news from 6 months ago with Hawaii having nearly 5 bucks to the gallon didn't offer much help. A lot of people in the hotel industry and relatives in the pineapple/sugar cane industry lost jobs because of the decline in our economy.
But for 'Banking Jobs in Hawaii' did not take a direct blow and with a College Degree, there would be no problem for you to get a job, you just have to stand/learn the broken english with the locals..hehe.
