Really interesting way to calculate this number. Coming from a completely different angle (the job-killing calculator that says JobsDisplaced=Profit/YearlyProfit-$60,000) I calculate that Google is displacing only 200,000 jobs, which is only about 1/10 of your number. But, if you figure that google's profit could instantly be about 10 times higher than it is now by firing the 9 of 10 employees that are not in the profit-making search group (I admit to gross simplifications) the JobsDisplaced=Profit/YearlyProfit-$60,000 value would come close to your ~2million number.
