Yeah, just read a study to that effect. Interesting reasons presented for why that's the case...mostly that legalization increases demand substantially, for which the legal industry can't keep up. Definitely doesn't fit into what I would have expected.
Yep, even in legal brothels in the US, over 80% of the fee goes to someone other than the prostitute. In a lot of places, even the cab driver who takes someone to the brothel makes more than the girl.

Sadly, there are men who post here who find rape and manipulation of women to be funny.
Legalizing prostitution and drugs doesn't mean everyone who provides prostitutes and drugs would be doing so legally.
Racer and Thunderbolt are on point.
Chances are slim that the hookers actually earned much of anything. The idea that most prostitutes choose to be prostitutes and actually earn much/any money for their work is a myth. It's just not the reality of the industry.
