This contribution reports on measurements of the inclusive jet
production cross section in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV.
Two analyzes are presented: one uses the longitudinally invariant k_T
algorithm to reconstruct the jets, the other uses the midpoint algorithm.
The data samples have been collected at CDF during the Run II of the
Tevatron and correspond to integrated luminosities of 1.0 fb-1 for the
k_T study and 1.13 fb-1 for the midpoint one. The inclusive jet cross
sections are measured as a function of the jet transverse momentum in
five jet rapi+dity regions for jets in the ranges 54 < pjet_T <
700 GeV/c and |yjet| < 2.1. Next-to-leading order perturbative
QCD predictions are in good agreement with the measured cross sections
after including the non-perturbative corrections necessary to account
for underlying event and hadronization effects.
