how are people able to even extract data from sites like Census.gov, BLS, and CDC.gov?

Here's an examples of what I'm talking about:

I've been trying (and giving up) for months to try and find data that is maybe 1-2 months old from these sites to do some cool analysis for work, but I can never seem to just get a nice dataset from these sites...

I've even tried going to [census.gov](https://census.gov/) site to try and get some datasets, but the process is just so damn confusing.

I'm assuming it's just not for noobies... …
