Mustafa Eşref 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 Mustafa Eşref Efendi began in Bosna in 1886/87 (AH 1304); the father's occupation was "Manifaturacı esnafı". Work began in 1902/03, at about 16, on a first salary of 25 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, names Mustafa Eşref as Orman, Muavin ve Ziraat Nezareti Hukuk Müşavirliği Kalemi mülazımı, with no place.

The salary went from 25 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to 400 in 1909/10, the peak, when 31 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 19,800 kuruş, 40 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
