From the first work in the personnel record to the first year with a salary in the annual lists took a median of 13 years (5 officials). The figure is too high for officials who began before about 1868 (AH 1285), when the annual lists are thin: the years before their first listed year count in it. The unpaid years above are the better measure of the wait for a salary.
