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

Mustafa Nuri Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Hudeyde muhasebecisi". At about 17, in 1889/90, Mustafa Nuri began work. The annual lists begin in 1889/90, with Mustafa Nuri as Mukabele Kalemi mülazımı and no place named. For 1900 to 1902 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 10 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 475 in 1906/07, the peak, when half the paid officials earned less. In all, 16 years of salary come to 49,674 kuruş, 63 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The peak was 47.5 times the first salary, a rise matched by fewer than 4 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
