Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Rıza Bey began in Istanbul in 1852/53 (AH 1269); the father's occupation was "Ticaret". Mehmed Rıza studied at the Imperial Palace School (Enderun-ı Hümayun Mektebi).
At about 12, in 1864/65, Mehmed Rıza began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 3 per cent started at 12 or younger. From the first annual entry, for 1864/65, to 1894/95, every annual entry places Mehmed Rıza in the same post, Enderun-ı Hümayun hizmetlisi, in Istanbul, the birthplace. Of the 1,281 officials whose entries span 30 years or more, 33 stayed in one place throughout.
The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1864/65 to 2,000 in 1894/95, the peak, in Istanbul, when 93 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 32 years of salary come to 207,036 kuruş, 1.3 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
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.
