Life#
Yusuf Ziyaettin Efendi was born in Istib in 1875/76 (AH 1292). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Yuzbasi.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Arabic, with Kitabet; Bulgarian, with Tekellum; Persian, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Konitsa (Koniçe) in 1890/91 (AH 1308). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1893/94, the official was about 18 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1893/94, shows Muhabere Memuru in Kratovo (Kratova), with 300 kuruş a month. In 1894/95 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Skopje (Üsküp), the salary going from 300 to 250 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Kratovo). In 1895/96 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Kratovo, the salary going from 250 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Skopje).

The highest salary, 400 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1895/96 as Muhabere Memuru. 30 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 4 years with a salary the median is 275 kuruş a month, with 1 rise and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 150 kuruş, is seen in 1895/96. From the first salary to the last the salary fell by 5.9 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1896/97, when 13 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
