By what measure?

By Residential Investment? RI averaged 5.5% of GDP in the '50s - very high due to new tax laws / booming economy / WWII veterans buying homes.

Q2 2005: RI = 5.98%. Higher than every year since '55.

Of course that is just Residential Investment and doesn't include resale and mortgage activities. By what measure are the '50s higher than today?

was the GDP a real number in 1950?
The one now is useless and probably helps explain the joblessness of it all.
