According to my suggestion, it is an example of bad framing. I can say that there must be the title of “US trade war with China is bringing fall in the unemployment rate to a 50-year low of 3.5%”. it is an appropriate and better frame to use. The stats of the previous fifteen months with the introduction of a trade war are a clear depiction of it that frame is not appropriate here. It doesn’t highlight the actual issue behind the rate of employment decline. The new frame is suitable to show how badly a trade war is affecting the US economy. This new frame is not changing the context of the news or the agenda but actually paying a more objective look to the issue. the numerical data is supporting the frame that not only the wording is appropriate there is an issue which is ignored while framing the title. The stats are ignored, the numerical data shows that the sharp slowdown in the manufacturing industry is coming after September. The US-China trade dispute is not only affecting the US but also effecting the whole global economy.

My new frame is not changing the objective information but it giving new insights to the issue. The US economy report came with a decline in the manufacturing rate which is slower than 10 years in September. There is fear that the US economy will face a further decline in the 15 months trade war so it would be best to use a better new frame here which highlights the issue in a title and attracts the reader to go through the current problem with a cause. The title is a major thing that can force the reader to engage in a topic and the agenda must be there in the title. The new frame is a great way to express the current issue of trade and its effects on the US economy.

As WTO warns the US about the trade war that it could hit the living standards because the employment is sharply decreased and jobless people are increasing. The federal reserve interest rate cut is expected this year which could be dangerous. The manufacturing sector has the weakest point now in the US economy and the US economy faced this issue from the past three years but with the service sector, the recession is expected to avoid. The problem is that the US economy matters a lot because it is the biggest economy and if the growth of the American economy slows down then expect china the rest of the world will suffer from it.

According to my observation, the title is badly framed because it shows the employment decline only but not really give the issue behind this decline. As the US economy matters along then the US recession would bring suffering to the entire world. the US federal rates are cut in the year and more interest cut is expected at the end of the year. So, the issue is serious to consider and the better frame would make it more effective for the readers.

As the global economy is linked with the US economy then the overall business decline would have occurred if the US trade war with china remained as it is now. The economic recession could have occurred with the retail and service industry (BBC, 2019). When I read the title of this business news I get confused with the title and claimed it as a bad frame.
