Mustafa Hulusi 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 Hulusi Efendi began in Safranbolu in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The personnel record dates the first work in Istanbul to 1894/95, after the first annual entry. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Mustafa Hulusi as askerlik (başçavuş), with no place. At the same time, from 1894 to 1911, the lists also place Mustafa Hulusi in Istanbul as a candidate official (Mülazım), with a rise to Iskele Memuru in 1896/97. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1907. For 1908 to 1910 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 400 in 1907/08, the peak, in Istanbul, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 41,400 kuruş, 74 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final 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.
