It is more interesting and socially significant to look at incomes within and across racial and ethnic groups for comparable education levels and occupational statuses. Many researchers have done and continue to do this, though.
Not controlling for number of jobs when calculating and comparing household incomes is good for Census purposes and relatively nothing more.
