BOSTON - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says the latest disappointing jobs report shows President Barack Obama's policies are not working and the country deserves new leadership.<br />
<br />
Romney says news that employers created only 96,000 jobs last month is giving Americans a hangover the morning after Obama's closing speech to the Democratic National Convention.<br />
<br />
The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, but only because more people gave up looking for work.<br />
<br />
The Republican called the news ''more of the same for middle-class families who are suffering through the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression.''<br />
<br />
Romney released the statement before a campaign trip to Iowa. He says his economic plan will create 12 million new jobs by the end of his first term.<br />
