Cam studios are an Eastern European phenomena for the most part.
There are wage labor laws in the USA. There are very expensive business licensing, tax laws and public liability statutes in the USA.
You cannot claim that your camgirl ''workers'' are independent contractors when they work in your studio business property using your equipment -- they become statutory employees. As statutory employees you must pay FICA payroll tax on their wages, pay their workman's compensation insurance, state and federal unemployment insurance ... In some cases healthcare insurance costs or contributions. In all, this amounts to maybe 40% of the wage you would pay. So, $20.00 an hour becomes $28.00 an hour.
There may be some fly-by-night studios in the USA but any that operate as a legitimate business in the USA have a tough row to hoe ...
Streamray still operates can studios on Las Vegas I believe ... Other than that I am not aware of any other obove-board operation in the USA of any size.
