Mehmet Emin Efendi
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 Mehmet Emin Efendi began in Bosna in 1860/61 (AH 1277); the father's occupation was "Sofya Redif Taburu binbaşısı". At about 21, in 1881/82, Mehmet Emin began work, on a first salary of 80 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1881/82, to 1909/10, every annual entry places Mehmet Emin in the same post, Piyade Dairesi 3. Şube Ahz-ı Asker Kısmı memuru, 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 80 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 1,500 in 1909/10, the peak, in Istanbul, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over 29 years the salaries add up to 247,632 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last 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.
