I'm a Millennial. My adult jobs have lasted 4 years (layoffs) and my current one is at 6. My income isn't much higher than that median shown.

Well, it's hard to say with complete certainty but if you look at the census bureau. The household median income for 1977 was around $12,000 and for 2014 it was around $53,000. Now if you adjust for inflation they are much closer.
Could be that someone is trying to mislead with the meme.

I have no idea if the numbers are accurate; never really claimed they were. The overall point is damaged if the numbers are inaccurate (I say if because the information being thrown around here doesn't show it to be), but the overall point that the current economic situation for Millennials is worse than the previous two generations at our age and it isn't getting any better.
