Field labels not displaying on visualforce page

Hi,
I'm creating 2 columns on one of our visualforce pages and I am able to seperate the fields into 2 columns but whenever I get this happening the field labels are removed.  The visualforce page only shows the actual input text fields but not the labels.
Below is my code on the VF page:


<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
            <apex:pageblock title="Account Information">
                <apex:inputField label="Lead Status" value="{!newLead.Status}" required="true" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:inputField label="Fuel Type" value="{!newLead.Fuel_Type__c}" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:inputField label="Region" value="{!newLead.Region__c}" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:outputField value="{!newLead.RecordTypeId}" /> <br> </br>
                </apex:pageblock>
                <apex:pageblock title="Account Information 2">
                <apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Consumption__c}" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Dual_Fuel__c}" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Associated_Dual_Fuel_Site__c}" /> <br> </br>
                <apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Qualification_Check__c}" /> <br> </br>
                </apex:pageBlock>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>


Am I doing something wrong here?  Does anyone know how I can get the labels to appear?
Any help is much appreciated

Hi ,
Write the code 

<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
            <apex:pageblock title="Account Information">
                         <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
                                  <apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Status}" required="true" />
                          </apex:pageBlockSection>
             </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:pageBlockSection>

Thnaks.

Hi RadDude,

To Display label you need to define <apex:ouputLabel>. And use following syntax for outputLabel value
                         {!$ObjectType.ObjectName.fields['FieldName'].label}
Here is the code : 
<apex:outputLabel value="{!$ObjectType.Lead.fields['Status'].label}" />
<apex:inputField  value="{!newLead.Status}" required="true" />
If this post solves your problem kindly mark it as solution.
Thanks

Hi Rohit,

Thanks - this shows the field label now.

The only thing is the field label appears above the field input - is there a way in which the label can be placed on the same row as the input field?

Please try to update your code like below. 
<apex:pageblock >

	<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2" title="Account Information">
		<apex:inputField label="Lead Status" value="{!newLead.Status}" required="true" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:inputField label="Fuel Type" value="{!newLead.Fuel_Type__c}" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:inputField label="Region" value="{!newLead.Region__c}" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:outputField value="{!newLead.RecordTypeId}" /> <br> </br>
	</apex:pageBlockSection>

	<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2" title="Account Information 2">
		<apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Consumption__c}" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Dual_Fuel__c}" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Associated_Dual_Fuel_Site__c}" /> <br> </br>
		<apex:inputField value="{!newLead.Qualification_Check__c}" /> <br> </br>
	</apex:pageBlockSection>
