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 Efendi was born in Osmancik in 1885/86 (AH 1303); the father's occupation was "Belediye 4. dairesi nizamat memuru". Work began in 1905/06, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1905/06, names Mustafa as İdare kalemi stajyeri, with no place.

Pay rose from 60 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to a peak of 150 in 1906/07, when one in ten paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 9,720 kuruş, 28 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. 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.
