What percentage of sex workers in the US are trafficked? This is a really hard question. Many numbers about sex trafficking are actually about general trafficking, and the rest of them seem to bubble up inexplicably from some void of “experts say”.
I'm *very* late on this, but I'd expect the numbers from your survey data to underestimate the number of trafficking victims pretty heavily. Respondents are English speaking, and disproportionately intelligent, wealthy, and American. I don't know how to square this with the other numbers.

I'm guessing that by now you've heard that "trafficking" was redefined some years ago to include all underage prostitution.
