Life#
Resit Efendi was born in Sidon (Sayda) in 1851/52 (AH 1268). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Arabic, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1867/68 (AH 1284): Telgraf. The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 160 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1870/71, the official was about 18 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1870/71, shows Muharrerat Memuru in Mosul (Musul), with 160 kuruş a month. In 1879/80 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Beirut, the salary going from 200 to 330 kuruş a month (before: Muharrerat Memuru in Mosul). In 1881/82 the record shows Rüsumat Memuru in Sidon, the salary going from 330 to 360 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Beirut). No annual entry is recorded for 1880/81.
The highest salary, 700 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1895/96 as Rüsumat Memuru. 74 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 26 years with a salary the median is 380 kuruş a month, with 5 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 300 kuruş, is seen in 1895/96. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 5.84 per cent a year on average.
