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 /> <br />
