Sixty-six percent of Poles celebrate Valentine’s Day with their other half and plan to spend between PLN 50 and PLN 200 (EUR 10-40) to mark the occasion this year, Personnel Service said in a new report, out this week.
This includes spending money on buying a Valentine's Day present, looking the part and spending nice time together, the company said.
With its trademark romantic dates, presents and special attractions, Valentine’s Day translates into “a spike in shopping purchases, but also more customers visiting restaurants, cinemas and spas,” said Personnel Service’s founder Krzysztof Inglot.
"As some people celebrate, others are in for a bigger payday," he added.
Florists, messengers, waiters
Florists and messengers, for instance, are expected to cash in as lovers like to send each other flowers on Valentine’s Day.
Also in demand are waiters and kitchen workers as 22 percent of couples plan to go out for a romantic dinner, according to Personnel Service.
Best-paid jobs: massage therapist, hairdresser, makeup artist
Meanwhile, hairdressers, makeup artists and massage therapists are the highest-paying Valentine’s Day jobs in Poland, the study found.
Hairdressers and makeup artists can expect to earn up to PLN 100 (EUR 21) per hour in the big cities.
As many couples opt for a shared massage or a visit to the spa on Valentine’s Day, massage therapists stand to earn up to PLN 200 (EUR 40) per hour, Personnel Service said.
