Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Skopje (Üsküp) in 1876/77 (AH 1293). The record gives the community as Jewish (Musevi), the nationality as Yahudi and the father's occupation as Sarraf.

Schooling recorded: Millet Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Kosova in 1893/94 (AH 1311). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 200 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1894/95, the official was about 18 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1894/95, shows Başmüdür Kitabeti in Skopje, with 200 kuruş a month. In 1895/96 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Skopje, the salary going from 200 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Başmüdür Kitabeti in Skopje). In 1902/03 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Prizren, the salary going from 400 to 550 kuruş a month (before: Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Skopje). In 1903/04 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Skopje, the salary going from 550 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Prizren). In 1905/06 the record shows Müdür Vekili in Skopje, the salary going from 600 to 750 kuruş a month (before: Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Skopje).

The highest salary, 750 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1905/06 as Müdür Vekili. 77 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 475 kuruş. Over 12 years with a salary the median is 400 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 200 kuruş, is seen in 1895/96. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 12.77 per cent a year on average.
