I am trying to download data from here:
www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_109.htm
I have tried using some packages (such as gdata, xlsx, XLConnext, and r2excell)
that read xls files and all failed. The error is related to the file format or
the presence of active batons in the header. Reading the file from row 6 does
not help. I will appreciate any solution by either reading the files from the
website or saving the file and loading individual files to R. I have already
downloaded each individual file. I need the data to compare professional
requirement (by industry) between a developing and a developed country.
