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

Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Medina (Medine) in 1881/82 (AH 1299); the father's occupation was "Medine livası muhasebe kalemi merkez yevmiye kâtibi". Work began in Medina in 1900/01, at about 18, on a first salary of 55.75 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1900/01, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Medina, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi mübeyyizi, where the entries run to 1910/11. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat kâtibi.

The salary went from 55.75 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 500 in 1910/11, the peak, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 20,436 kuruş, 35 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. 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.
