Employers do look at that for providing increases in pay--i.e. based on a person's life situation--does he or she have a family to support?
Most out of college grads that have not gone into the military afterward, or go to graduate/professional schools but decide to get jobs may or may not have a huge difference in pay, hence the reasoning in finding a secondary job to pay the differential...
For those of you on student loans, how long do you have before you have to pay them back after graduation? Just asking.

I think the loan thing kicks in within 6 months of graduation if I remember right. You can delay it by going back to school.
The reason why the total income matters is in regards to the spending. Working 2 jobs and making a lot of money for yourself is different from working 2 jobs, supporting a kid, and spending money as opposed to saving it.
