Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Diyarbakır in 1866/67 (AH 1283). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Gumruk Memuru.

Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Tripoli (Trablusgarp) in 1882/83 (AH 1300). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 5 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1887/88, the official was about 21 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1887/88, shows Muhabere Memuru in Tripoli, with 300 kuruş a month. In 1894/95 the record shows Başmuhabere Memuru in Ajloun (Aclun), the salary going from 300 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Tripoli). In 1903/04 the record shows 2. Müdür in Sokna, the salary going from 540 to 1,000 kuruş a month (before: Başmuhabere Memuru in Ajloun).

The highest salary, 1,000 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1903/04 as 2. Müdür. 87 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 475 kuruş. Over 17 years with a salary the median is 540 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 460 kuruş, is seen in 1903/04. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 7.82 per cent a year on average.
