Background checks will show where you've worked, unless you were getting paid illegally. Still, I agree with you. It isn't something to scream out loud.
Background checks are being restricted in CA (by laws that became active in Jan '12), but even before that, I doubt it. Background checks are more like credit checks than employment history checks, except they include law enforcement activity.
Background checks are nowhere near that accurate, they usually rely on information you, yourself have put out there, they don't have some sort of direct pipeline to your w2 forms.
