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

Mehmet Rasim Efendi was born in Giresun in 1869/70 (AH 1286). Work began in 1890/91, at about 21. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with Mehmet Rasim as askerlik in Giresun, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1895 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a candidate official (Mülazım).

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 200 kuruş a month in 1891/92, when 14 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 9,600 kuruş, 50 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.

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.
