  We perform a detailed comparison of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD
predictions for the W+jet and Z+jet processes with 7 TeV experimental data from
ATLAS and CMS. We observe excellent agreement between theory and data for most
studied observables, which span several orders of magnitude in both cross
section and energy. For some observables, such as the $H_T$ distribution, the
NNLO QCD corrections are essential for resolving existing discrepancies between
theory and data.
