Correction to what I just wrote:
Wrestling with this concept is the specialty of the excellent Laura Agustin. Very short version: the word is used only with sex workers who migrate. Other kinds of workers are migrants (if they're working class), or almost no word at all (if they're bond traders).
I see on Agustin's blog that the word "trafficking" is now being used more broadly, as a pejorative to describe people who cross borders without the approval of the state and our moral police.
