One industry that does not appear to have been hit all that hard by the economic downturn: Federal lawmaking.


Even as the nation’s unemployment rate was reaching its highest levels in about a quarter-century, members of Congress saw their wealth collectively rise roughly 16 percent from 2008 to 2009, according to a new study from the Center for Responsive Politics.


The center’s analysis of lawmakers’ financial disclosures found that median wealth for members of the House and Senate grew to roughly $911,000 in 2009, after sitting at about $785,000 the previous year. It also found a small increase in the number of Congressional millionaires, with that figure now sitting at 261 – or close to half of all members of Congress.


More than 20 percent of those millionaires — 55 — had an average estimated wealth of at least $10 million. And moving up to the highest end, eight lawmakers — five Democrats and three Republicans — had an average wealth that stretches into nine figures.


Members of Congress report their assets in broad ranges, from which C.R.P. calculates an average estimated wealth. In its release on Wednesday, the center noted that lawmakers are not required to report all of their assets, including the worth of their personal residences.


The report also lays out which corporations attract the most congressional investors (with General Electric coming in No. 1) and calls for the disclosure reports, which are now submitted on paper, to be turned in electronically. It comes as lawmakers are going back and forth over whether to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for higher-income individuals and families.
