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 Muhib Abdülkerim Bey began in Silistra (Silistre); the father's occupation was "Mal müdürü ve tahrirat başkâtibi". Muhib Abdülkerim began work in Silistra in 1870/71 (AH 1287), on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1870/71, with Muhib Abdülkerim as Rüsumat kâtibi in Silistra, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1876/77. For 1877 to 1910 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1876 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tütün fabrikası memuru. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 43 years or more.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to a peak of 500 in 1910/11, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911.

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.
