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 Cemal Efendi began in Bitola (Manastır) in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Aydın Emlak-ı Hümayun müdürü". At about 22, in 1898/99, Yusuf Cemal began work, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1898/99, with Yusuf Cemal as Kuyudat Kalemi halifesi and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1899 to 1901. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in Chios as Sancak Muhasebecisi.
Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to a peak of 1,500 in 1906/07, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 127,200 kuruş, 2.4 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
