They clearly are inclusive, and I don't know why anyone would read it the way you suggest. In any event, if you back out the numbers, it would show basically the same number making over $180k as making between $160 and $170k (about 17000) and 37000 making between $150k and $160k--which is a lot fewer than the number making over $160k.
The SL and ST limits in 2004/05 were below $150k, they are now 179,700 with and 165,300 without a performance appraisal system. So, that's probably the bulk.
