The Bureau has moved this data but got lucky and got the data from website archive list ! but frankly speaking there was nothing much to do in the challenge after that !

Seems like this URL is not valid anymore..

When I tried to download data from "http://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/compaes.txt" it gave me HTTP code 301 Move Permanently along with new URL.

i.e. "https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/compaes.txt"

But when I tried this new URL as well it returned 400 Bad Request HTTP Code. 

Does anyone have access to the actual raw data downloaded from above URL?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to find the file to download either by the link provided or in the archives. There are posts with the xls file, but that somewhat defeats the purpose. I'd like to try this challenge if a valid url is posted in the future.
