Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Şükrü Efendi began in Kütahya in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Haffaf". Mustafa Şükrü began work in Kütahya in 1883/84, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, places Mustafa Şükrü in Kütahya, the birthplace, as Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1890/91. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1893 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kabzımal. The last posts were in Simav from 1894 to 1897.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1890/91, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 21,600 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
