Still, we can take poltics some of the available information and look for patterns that we would expect if there had been more low-income jobs created than higher-income jobs. Specifically, in the case where the median income were flat, we would expect to see the mean of the first quintile to go down if there were an increase of very low-paying jobs. What we see in reality is that when the median remained flat (or poltics nearly so), the lowest quintile mean remained flat (or nearly so) poltics simultaneously. There are a number of problems with using the median income to judge how well off people are. You mentioned one of those problems — not being able to consider changes to the distribution of income. Another problem is that median income does not take tax policy into account, and so skews the picture to indicate that certain quintiles are worse off than they truly are. (There is an additional complication to taxes due to the progressive nature of the income tax versus the regressive nature of payroll taxes.)
