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 Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Paşa köyü, Taşköprü in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Saray-ı Hümâyûn hamlecisi, kapıçukadarı". Work began in Istanbul in 1882/83, at about 16, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1882/83, to 1907/08, every annual entry places Hüseyin Hüsnü in the same post, Enderûn-ı Hümâyûn hademesi, 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 120 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 1,000 in 1900/01, the peak, in Istanbul, when 82 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 105,120 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
