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 Yusuf Ziya Bey began in Kırşehir in 1897/98 (AH 1315); the father's occupation was "Kırşehir tahrirat müdürü". Work began in Istanbul in 1911, at about 14, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1911, places Yusuf Ziya in Istanbul as Dahiliye Nezareti Muhaberat-ı Umumiye 4. şube 4. sınıf halifesi, where the entries run to 1912/13. At the same time, from 1912/13, the lists also place Yusuf Ziya in Ankara as Ankara vilayeti maiyet memuru.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1911 to 500 in 1912/13, the peak, in Ankara, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 15,600 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
