In most offices, officers don’t actually get your original application. They get a copy/summary—with need information excluded if the school is need-blind.

They do usually get job info, but that can only help you: in a need-blind institution, admissions is not charged with ensuring the class can pay. Therefore, if anything, they’re more likely to admit a low-income student than a high-income one.
