In 1914, a business executive named Henry Ford did a startling thing:
He announced that he was going to more than double the wages he was paying his employees, from $2.34 to $5 a day--the equivalent of $120 a day in today's money.
The country was as shocked by this then as it would be today.
At an increasing number of companies, the hiring boss for rank and file jobs is now an algorithm -- and the computers are considering factors that are very different than what applicants have come to expect.
