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 Hayri Efendi began in Malatya in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Ergani Madeni Sancağı Nafia Kâtibi". At about 16, in 1881/82, Mustafa Hayri began work. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, names Mustafa Hayri as Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, with no place.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 300 in 1889/90, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 5,760 kuruş, 30 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1889/90.

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.
