On January 20, 1937, in the first inauguration held in January instead of March, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in to his second term. During his first four years, Roosevelt's progressive ''New Deal'' legislation had improved America's economic climate, but had also come under fire from the business community and other quarters. Nevertheless, as his landslide victory in the past election indicated, he had the overwhelming support of the average voter, who remembered the economic despair of the three years before Roosevelt's ascendance. In this speech, the president reminded Americans that there was still much work to be done before the national economy was back up to par.
