(Read Write Web) — Google plans to hold a number of events across the U.S. this morning where the company will highlight its economic impact on local economies. Ahead of these events, Google just released detailed data about how much economic activity the company generated for local businesses, website publishers and non-profits in the U.S. in 2009. Nationwide, Google estimates that it generated about $54 billion in economic activity last year. According to Google, the company estimates its economic impact in each state based on “the economic value generated by Google Search and AdWords, Google AdSense and Google Grants in 2009.” You can find a detailed description of the company’s methodology here. Google did not try to estimate its impact on local consumers.
