This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.
Life and register readings
Veli A ğa was born in Safranbolu in 1860/61 (AH 1277). At about 29, in 1889/90, Veli A ğa began work in Istanbul. From the first annual entry, for 1889/90, to 1909/10, every annual entry places Veli A ğa in the same post, Evkaf-ı Hümayun Nezareti hademesi (mülazım), in Istanbul. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
The salary went from 90 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 400 in 1909/10, the peak, in Istanbul, when 31 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 17 years of salary come to 41,040 kuruş, 47 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

Career and salary#
Log scale: equal steps are equal ratios. The median of the same title is drawn for the years in which at least 5 officials with that title had a salary, and the median of the same province for the years in which at least 5 officials were paid in the province of the official's salary that year.
